Signature Estate & Investment Advisors (SEIA) Junior Financial Analyst Any info?

Hi all,

There is a possibility that I will have an interview with Signature Estate & Investment Advisors (SEIA) at their Newport Beach office. I am interested in the Junior Analyst position and was wondering if anyone had any insights into their interview process (either Newport Beach or L.A. office), work culture, work-life balance, life as an analyst, that would be much appreciated.
