Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Oppenheimer Holdings.
Financial Advisor
The interview process was typical. Everything was going well until I didn't get the position because of a miscommunication with one of my references. The manager then left a voicemail to that reference saying, "Call him and tell him that you just cost him the job." It was 8 weeks of wasted time due to a miscommunication. Don't bother sending thank you emails after the hiring process ends because you won't hear back from the office once they cut their lines.
