The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at ING (Boston, MA) in Jan 2012
Interview
The first step was coming in for a presentation. I was in a room with about 12 others. A sales manager comes in to talk about the company history and what the job entails. You have the opportunity to ask questions throughout the presentation. After the career preview, you have to choice to decide whether you are still interested in pursuing this career. If you are, you sign up for a phone interview. My phone interview took about 30 minutes. I was asked about my work history, where I want to be in 5 years, why this career, etc.
A group interview with individual presentations and case studies took place first. In particular, the last question was useful for measuring persuasion skills and consisted in interpreting a character, real or fictional of your choice, and convincing others to do something. After a single interview with two HRs.

Interview
Got a call to come in for an interview. Showed up and it was for an information presentation. It was me as well as 4 or 5 others and they called us in and we sat through a presentation given by the VP about the process of being an financial adviser. It was all compensation and you really need a big clientele in order to be successful.

I applied through college or university. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at ING (Chicago, IL) in Sep 2013
Interview
Pretty common financial planner/adviser entry-level position; they ask you to fill out a list of potential customers you can solicit packaged financial products to. The interview was pretty informal and unappealing as they continued to press you for how many people you would be able to bring over with you.
