Interview
Recruiter called me after getting an application from me for a business information analyst. Asks what I'm looking for in general in a position, thought I'd be better suited to financial analysis although I explained I was looking to branch out from strictly finance. He says he'll keep a look out for positions.
I get a call a few weeks later to come in for a 3 hour long interview with teams from finance, business information analytics, and data analytics. 2 people from each team amounted to me being interviewed by 6 people in total over 3 hours. One of the teams was interviewing me over skype.
I was a bit putoff by the fact I did not have a particular job that I was interviewing for, as it made interview prep more difficult.

Three rounds of interviews. The first was with a recruiter for the Business Information office. The second was a technical and behavioral interview, covering experience with Excel, SQL, and BI software. The third round was with office management and involved more thorough technical questions as well as behavioral questions.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Fisher Investments (Camas, WA) in Feb 2017
Interview
The interview process was very disorganized. Full process took just over 3 months from university recruiting. I had 4 phone screening interviews with HR before meeting with the team I was actually interested in working with. All phone calls were basic behavioral questions, before being tagged along to another recruiter with no follow-up. Eventually made it to the right place, but stopped there. Not sure what went wrong, no feedback was given, so assuming it was not a good fit.
