The process took 2 days. I interviewed at TIAA (Dallas, TX) in Mar 2008
Interview
the usual kind of stuff: where is the market now, where do you see it going and why? how are you with dealing with difficult team mates, clients. What is your philosophy on investments, Tell me about a time when you made a mistake and what did you learn from it. Team work, team player, good with the client, that kind of stuff. Pretty standard interview. If you have market knowledge down, it helps a lot.

Interview
Basic questions, two person interview but not overbearing or intimidating. Initially talk about their own roles then pass it to you. Simple preparation is enough, and the questions as I said are standard
