Application
InterviewI applied online. I interviewed at Fidelity Investments (United States) in Sep 2020
If your application gets through to HR, you get sent a link to do a HireVue interview. From what I remember, there’s 7 questions and you have 2 minutes to answer each. If they like your answers, you get put through a phone interview. The phone interview was about 45 minutes and mostly behavioral based. After that, you’ll get sent a link to do an assessment. Be warned; the assessment is pretty difficult, so go in it doing the best you can. Once you completed the assessment, HR will follow up to talk about how you did and if it was good enough for a face-to-face interview. The face-to-face interview was via Zoom with 2 hiring managers. The women I had were so nice and really made me feel comfortable. That interview lasted an hour. Once done with the interview, they told me they’d contact me within a week or 2 with a decision - I received one in an hour!
Interview Questions
- Why Fidelity?
- What did you like about a previous manager?
- How did you handle feedback you didn’t agree with?
- How would you handle an upset customer?
- Describing your day by an 80/20 perspective, what good things constitutes as your 80? What undesirable things are described as 20?

Only passed the first stage through HireVue. I did it virtually as per the website. If you get through that you would then be chosen to do a phone interview
Interview Questions
- In the HireVue they asked me why I would be a good fit, what type of OOP programming languages I preferred and about projects I've worked on. They've asked me about Agile and my familiarity with it. They asked me to describe a technical scenario where I got stuck and had to work around it.
