      Financial Advisor Interview

      30 May 2016
      Anonymous interview candidate
      West Bridgewater, MA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at New York Life (West Bridgewater, MA) in May 2016

      Interview

      They headhunted me, after seeing my resume on Monster. I was told that they only had interviews at 10, 11, and 12, which made me kind of suspicious. I figured if a company was actually interested in me, they would try and figure out a time that worked well with my schedule as well. I figured they must have been group interviews, but when I asked, they assured me they wouldn't be. I scheduled one for ten, and a few days later, after doing a little research about the company and the position, saw other reviews, saying that it was completely commissioned base, and they try to get you to sell insurance to family and friends. I sent the woman an email, asking whether or not the position had a base salary, and to send me a job description. She said there was no job description but that I would be making money in the 6 figure range. I didn't go to the interview, because I wouldn't want to work for a company that not only doesn't have a job description, but that would hire someone externally instead of promoting internally, for that much money.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      They wanted to know whether or not I wanted to help people financially.

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at New York Life

      Interview

      Don't waste time with this company. This gave me a wrong interview time, I showed up but no one is there, I can't reached out to anyone. IT WASTE MY WHOLE DAY! After almost 5 hrs of the scheduled meeting time, someone finally replied me with only one sentence, they never scheduled me for that time, I provided them with evidences about the meeting time, they just made up a meeting time no one ever told me. Very unprofessional.

      Waltham, MA
      Declined offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at New York Life (Waltham, MA)

      Interview

      The interview process is three steps and the first is typically getting to know you, then it's about career development and lastly compensation. The process is generally laid back and all about learning about the company.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      They asked me if I knew what New York Life was really selling.
