It was a good and smooth process, not too bad. There were some technical questions, but if you're prepared, you won't have a hard time.

So, if you get picked to interview, the first step is this automated thing where you gotta video yourself answering questions and send it back. I thought it would be easy, but recording myself talking to a screen and trying to impress it was way harder than I expected. Honestly, I think this automated interview thing is a pretty bad way to screen people. I bet Edward Jones is missing out on some really good candidates who just aren't comfortable talking to a computer. About a week after I did it, they told me I didn't make the cut. You should totally practice your intro, talking about your job history and one big win, beforehand. You can do it over, but it was the only question I got to re-record.
Confirmed questions5 questions
- Can you start with a brief intro about your career and one professional accomplishment?

The hiring process is one of the most particular I've experienced. The company has a reputation for looking to hire the unicorn rather than a skilled professional with a lot of potential, so the process is incredibly slow and cumbersome, with much wasted time and effort. The process took over 5 months. I applied in April, had a phone screen in May and filled out their candidate profile and background history which takes a few hours, phone interview in June with the hiring leader. After this round the recruiter left a voicemail that they were moving forward with other candidates but think I was a great fit for the company overall and wanted to discuss other openings. I call back and left a few voicemail's all to be ignored. I applied for another position of the same degree in June, went through the phone screen, candidate profile and background check process again in July, and came on-site to meet with two team members in August. Early September I was notified that I was a great fit for the company but not a perfect fit for the role, which was upgraded to a Sr. Project Leader after my interview.
