I was referred by a friend who was also interviewing for the same position. The interview process is fairly relaxed and is mostly geared towards finding out what type of person you are and if you are driven enough to succeed in an industry that is commission driven. They will have you fill out a personality test that helps them (and helps you) decide whether or not this type of career path is one you should continue to pursue.

There were four or five interviews, if you count the meeting with my future mentor. There were also a few personality assessments. Lots of paperwork. The finance industry is tightly regulated.
