Fidelity Investments Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details I had three interviews the first was behavioral with an managing director, second was more technical business questions about the mutual fund industry, and the third was conversation with the head of institutional sales.

Interview Details First: A 15 minute phone screen with HR. She asked technical questions that she did not understand but I matched the answers she had in front of her so I was asked to come in for in-person interview.

Second: Three one-on-one half-hour interviews with various software team members. Interviewers were nice but incompetent. Two behavioral interviews and one technical interview. The technical interview was with someone who spoke English as a secondary language, and he simply went down a list of programming languages and terms and asked if I had heard of them. When I tried to define terms he would interrupt--he literally just wanted yes or no answers as to whether I was familiar with things. My honesty probably hurt me because I could have told him I knew everything he was asking instead of telling him I had not worked with Oracle, triggers, etc.

A few days after the interview HR called and said they had no openings for QA. It would have hurt less if they had been honest and said I failed the interview.

Interview Details I had the usual call with HR, then Phone Interview with Hiring Manager. I then had a face to face interview with Staff members, Hiring manager and then another Peer Manger. Interview was fairly intensive,

Interview Details I applied through the college recruiting program at my school. The interview is pretty comprehensive. You receive a phone call abut a week or two before the on-site interview to ask any questions. Then there is a informational session the night before to learn a bit more about the company. On the day of the interview, your day lasts about 3-4 hours with the HR reps and a senior manager(s) and consists of two behavioral interviews and one technical.

Negotiation Details – no negotiation needed :)

Interview Details Interview was straight forward. Hiring process with the HR person was a mess. She had no clue about the job/questions to answer and timeline.

Negotiation Details – Straightforward, though the HR rep was clueless

Interview Details The hiring process is intense! I had two phone interviews before my on-site interview, which lasted for 4 hours. During the on-site interview, I was interviewed in a group by two different managers, and then was interviewed individually by two managers together. Afterwards, we were given a logical reasoning exam to test our deductive and inferential reasoning skills.

Negotiation Details – No negotiation, the starting salary is non-negotiable and the starting date is assigned in a co-hort.

Interview Details Contact via e-mail. Phone interview even though they were not hiring currently. E-mail a week later to schedule visit.

Interview Details 4 rounds

1. Tech round - 2 case studies(telephonic)

Face to face rounds:

2. HR round(how do I fit in, expected salary)
3. Tech round -2 case studies
4. Manager round-going through resume

Tech round questions were very good but I could come up with the right answers. HR round consisted of some checks to see consistency,interest in the role, whether I would stay with them etc. Manager round was less structured and was similar to HR round.

Interviewers were polite,patient and helpful. Not much scope for negotiations.

My offer was confirmed through a job consultant but it was cancelled the next day due to some reason related to background verification. This reason was very unconvincing and a stark contrast to all the proceedings before. Very disappointed at this turn of events.

Interview Details I applied through the company's website, then got an email through company's recruiter, a onsite interview was arranged, got the offer right after the interview.
