Interviewed Sep 2010 (took 2 weeks)
Had two separate interviews, about 2 weeks apart. The first was an interview with 2 employees. Typical questions: walk us through your resume, tell me about a time when..., tell us about your short and long term goals. One question that wasn't typical: "Which financial statement do you think is the most important and why?" Second interview day consisted of 4-5, 1:1: interviews each lasting about an hour. Similar questions to first interview with more focus on "Why should we hire you" and "Why do you want this job, specifically?"

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Boston, MA (took a day)
Sent me an email asking if they could give me a call. I hesitate to define the phone call as an interview, they more or less just wanted to see if I was interested. They invited me to come in to their Boston office for interviews. There were about 8 other candidates, all of them also applying to the software engineering track of the leap program. There were 3, 30 minute interviews..two were with projects managers, one of which was with a software engineer. No technical questions were asked; lots of "What was a time where you took a leadership role?", "What was one of your hardest objects you've overcome?" type questions. It felt like I was answering the same questions over and over in the 3 different interviews. I talked in depth about projects I have done and some of my favorite CS courses and that seemed to please the interviewer (and may be why they asked me no technical questions) so I would recommend doing that. If you are going in for an interview have examples of when you led a group project ready..you're gunna need them. Also they gave me a free umbrella, so thats nice.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Salt Lake City, UT (took 1+ week)
First off, knowing someone who works at Fidelity is almost a must. That is the reason that I got an interview, at least that's what I think. I attended an information session, hosted by Fidelity, at the University which also was supposed to give my application priority in the screening process. 1 week or so after attending the information session and submitting my application I got an email from staffing wanting to schedule a phone interview. This phone interview was done in 2 sessions. The first session went over the details about the job and compensation. I then scheduled another phone interview for a couple days later. During the 2nd interview I was asked questions like, "Tell me about a time when...." and "What does excellent customer service mean to you?" After this interview I then scheduled to go in for a face to face interview that same week. This interview starts off in a group setting. There were around 8 of us interviewing. They ask you to wear a suit. The first hour you watch a video with someone in upper management and go over some slides about the company lifestyle. You also listen to a phone call to see what it is like to be on the phones. A rep then comes in and answers questions about the job. Managers then came in groups of 2 for the interview. This interview took about an 40 minutes or so. The same type of questions were asked that were in the 2nd phone interview. I was then taken on a short tour of the different departments. The final hour was used to take an intelligence test. The questions consisted of deductive reasoning and logic testing. Not too difficult.
I was then called 2 days later from staffing informing me that they were going to extend me an offer for the job.

Applied online. Recieved phone call next day to schedule a phone interview with their recruiter. Phone interview verified qualities and qualifications the manager was seeking. Phone interview lasted about thirty minutes. Process was intense but pleasant. Recruiter called back the following day and set up an in person interview with hiring manager. In person interview consisted of sitting with manager and assist. manager for about 2 1/2 hours. Questions covered everything from discriptions of previous positions to how I would handle situations at this firm. Also asked what salary I would be looking for . Said they would be in touch in a few weeks, as they just started interviewing. Received a phone call a few weeks later that I was not chosen.
