United StatesPosted Feb 2015 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I interviewed for Waddell & Reed’s Financial Analyst track with a relatively smooth, recruiter-led timeline—mostly about fit and the industry—before a quick decision.

Recruiter screen / phone intro — a phone conversation focused on basic background fit and how driven I was, sometimes paired with an online survey.
Second round (industry understanding) — another screening conversation to gauge what I knew about the industry and the role.
In-person interview — an in-person meeting to confirm fit and expectations; they then scheduled the last step.
Orientation-style in-depth session — if I was still interested, I was brought into a longer 1–2 hour orientation covering how training works and what the job entails.
