      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Merrill (New York, NY) in Oct 2019

      Interview

      Hirevue interview, got invited out to NYC for a super day of sorts. Was only an hour long interview but they paid for everything. Very much about getting to know you and talking about the position and if you have any relevant experience. Super informal and easy interview if you have good STAR examples. They said I would find out in two weeks. It has been about a month and a half now and I have even called the recruiter to ask about updates. They said I would know in December. Seemed disorganized and I ended up taking a position elsewhere.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Walk me through your resume, why Financial Advising, and she explained what they did.
