"I am a long-time Fisher Investments employee (10+ years), and there's a reason I've stayed so long. I have a great deal of experience in the Financial Services industry – I've worked for both large and small firms – so I have perspective on opportunities available in this industry. Simply put, Fisher Investments offers a stimulating, rewarding work environment but perhaps most importantly: the chance to learn.

Information about Fisher Investments on the Internet
If you are a qualified candidate considering a career at Fisher Investments, we encourage you to do your own research rather than relying on anonymous Internet posts. We believe comments on the Internet are frequently from posters using false or anonymous identities. With a competitive recruiting process and a merit-based environment, candidates and employees who are not as successful as they hoped may be disappointed.
Admittedly, Fisher Investments is not for everyone. Many employees come to Fisher Investments and stay with us for a long time. But some find the firm is not right for them. The Internet can be a useful way of conducting research but as you have probably experienced in your personal use of the internet, not all of the information you find is reliable or accurate. We encourage you to look at reliable, trusted sources like BusinessWeek and Investment Advisor, as well as Ken Fisher's performance history with Forbes and CXO Advisory.1
