I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at MassMutual (New York, NY) in Aug 2018
Interview
I met with the firm's marketing lead who had several behavioral questions. The second round interview was with the firm's president who had similar questions. The interview was primarily a fit to see if I could work together with other advisors and if I could make clients feel comfortable. Very few technical questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Hypothetically speaking, how would you go about explaining to a client that their market portfolio tanked and they lost more than 50% of their principal?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at MassMutual (Austin, TX) in Apr 2026
Interview
Recruiter reached out and only gave pros. When I dug deeper to get further detail he didn't know concrete info. Felt more like a desperate way to try to recruit due to a high turnover rate.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at MassMutual in Oct 2025
Interview
I was referred by a recruiter to interview with a financial advisor for an in-office role. During the interview, several red flags came up. They asked about my citizenship, and when I said I am American, they implied that could not be true because of my last name. Later, after I mentioned that I speak another language, they said, “That’s great, we’ve been aiming to target that community,” which deeply disturbed me.
Pretty straight foward super friendly
Very nice went through behavioral questions a few technical and mainly talk about your background and why you’re a good role good fit. Overall, positive experience, super friendly showed enthusiasm.
