They they told me to research the company and we set up another phone interview to go over behavioral HR questions like tell me a time when you...Once I went through that, I was invited to go on site. There was five other candidates and we sat through a presentation, had a tour, interviews with hiring managers and then took an assessment.

Analyst at Fidelity Investments
Declined Offer – Interviewed in Jersey City, NJ – Reviewed May 6, 2013
Interview Details – Called into their office by HR - was pretty much hassled into answering the question of whether I got the job, I would take it to which I responded "It depends"...very unprofessional and erratic interview process with a lot of colleagues that "shouldn't" be working there in my opinion e.g. non techies are project managers yet they do not understand why their software implementations do not scale/work properly
Reason for Declining – Low salary..cheap company..generally a low energy environment

Financial Representative at Fidelity Investments
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Westlake, TX – Reviewed May 1, 2013
Interview Details – The interview process was like most others have described. First is an over the phone, informal getting to know you and the position "interview". Then is an over the phone interview where they give you tips of your answers. It's mostly behavioral based questions. I was unable to attend the group interview, so I got a one-on-one interview...well, one-on-two. I met with two of the managers and they walked me around the facility. We then did the interview section, very similar to the phone interview but they asked for different answers. I was asked what I knew about the current market/current events affecting the market. Then took the test. I got a call about 3 days later saying I would get an official offer once they knew my start date. About 2 days later I got a call saying they were ready to set up the official offer call, and then I got the official offer call.
Interview Question – What current events are affecting the market? Answer Question
Negotiation Details – No negotiation. They pay a set salary and I was happy with it and the benefits offered.
