I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Equitable Advisors (Portland, OR) in May 2012
Interview
It was a very conversational interview, a top advisor and a manager interviewed me. They were both very nice, they guided the conversation to get the information from me, it was not a standard list of 12 questions interview.
