I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at LPL Financial (San Diego, CA) in Sep 2010
Interview
One of the easiest interview I have I had. Consisted of Phone Interview, Background Check, Skills Test, 1:1 Interview, Group/Panel Interview. I recommended improving the interview process after I joined, but it doesn't look like it is going to happen. Note: lots of over time is required here.
