I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Fidelity Investments (Boston, MA) in Sep 2011
Interview
They want smart people who LOVE stock analysis. Some of the employees are friendly, some cocky and rude... Not a place I would want to work.
Have a few stocks in mind to discuss. Second round requires to prepare a pitch and a model.
Mainly behavior question + stock pitch, Brain teaser as well. several rounds including panel interview with Portfolio managers and analysts. Deep dive into valuation and financials. Need to prepare a decent stock pitch.
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Fidelity Investments (Toronto, ON) in Jan 2024
Interview
Did a first round with HR. After the interview, I was told to be scheduled for the next round after working around PM’s schedule. Got ghosted and never heard back for a couple years.
The interview process was a panel review of an investment. Overall, I ended up getting the job, but I don't think they learned anything about my abilities to actually do the mundane job.
