I interviewed at Merrill
Interview
I am still in the interviewing process. I applied online and then received an email inviting me to take a finance knowledge test online. Then I got an email for a phone interview and a link to take the virtual job assessment online which asked questions about what I would do in a situation as well as personality traits. So far it's been a good experience.

they make you take a short pass/fail test. if you pass then you are interviewed by a recruiter who asks you questions about investment banking and why you would do well in the field.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Merrill (Dallas, TX)
Interview
Was hired essentially over the phone. Spoke with recruiter a couple of times so was basically hired before I went in for interview. Met with the HR person and was told as long as I passed the drug test and background check we were good to go. Started the next Monday.
