United StatesPosted Feb 2024 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I interviewed for the Financial Analyst role and found the journey inconsistent—some steps were straightforward, but communication and clarity varied a lot over a 2–3+ month timeline.

Screening calls — one or two phone interviews that leaned on character/fit and typical background questions.
Optional in-person (skipped by me) — when included, it was framed as a conversation with an existing advisor.
STAR-focused conversations — interviews asked for structured examples and reasoning for why I wanted the role.
Business planning / simulation path (when pursued) — later stages included a planning activity and then a “day in the life” simulation lasting several hours.
Final HR check-in — a recap style conversation after completing prior
