Went through 3 interviews and a mock project assessment, all to be told through an automated email (not even a real person) on a Sunday morning that they have decided to not continue the interview process with me. Of course disappointed that I was not selected to continue but really left with a sour taste after how they handled it.

A recruiter reached out to me for a phone interview, and we set up an onsite for the next week. The onsite included interviews with managers at the San Mateo office and then with an executive at headquarters in Woodside, CA.

Behavioral Technical Presentation

I first heard about Fisher at a career fair and then had an on-campus interview the next day. It was pretty short, like 30-45 minutes, with two people asking about me and my resume. The following week, they called me back and flew me out to their offices in Camas, Washington, for another round. This was an all-day thing starting at 8 AM with about 6 other students interviewing for different jobs. We got a quick company rundown and then went to our interviews. I had three separate interviews, each lasting 45 minutes to an hour, with managers from Client Services, Trading, and the Portfolio Evaluation Group. After those, someone from Client Services who's entry-level talked with me about any questions I had. We wrapped up around 4 PM and went back to the hotel. A few Fisher folks took us around Portland and out to dinner that evening. All in all, the hiring process was pretty fast and pretty fun.
