I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Fisher Investments (Columbia, MO) in Feb 2016
Interview
First had an interview with the campus recruiter after my college career fair. A lot of tell me about yourself questions and just going over your resume. After about a month I got an email that they wanted to conduct a phone interview. The phone interview wasn't very long and was about your career goals and questions you had. It seemed like a very selective process and I wasn't offered the job or more interviews.

Question 1
What is a characteristic that most people would say about you that isn't necessarily true?
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Fisher Investments (Camas, WA) in Jul 2015
Interview
I applied and had my resume submitted to recruiting via an employee referal which I believe expedited the entire process. I had a brief phone interview with a recruiter regarding salary, why I was looking for a job, etc. Since the time I applied to the interview recently (still waiting to hear back) it has been two weeks approximately. After my interview, I received a background/credit request the following day.
I then came to HQ for an interview that consisted of three back-to-back interviews (approximately 3 hours) with what would be my hiring manager, a colleague, and a VP. Before the interview, I was given a tour of the buildings and a rundown on day-to day operations. The interviews weren't necessarily difficult in the sense that the questions were, but the fact that it was back-to-back was difficult. I can appreciate a company that puts so much effort into making sure somebody is a good fit culturally speaking and even if I don't get the job, I can honestly say it was a great experience and I appreciated the opportunity. I really enjoyed the interviewers and their enthusiasm.

Question 1
One interviewer listed off "tell me about a time..." kind of questions from a piece of paper. Another interviewer asked me more technical things in regards to the position and I felt another interviewer was looking for more a cultural fit - asked me to share stories and give a rundown on my career history thus far.

Interview
There was a phone screening, then a more formal interview with HR, then another interview with bosses, and then an in person interview. For a company that specializes in client service, they left a lot to be desired when it came to communication and returning messages. They were also not very consistent.
