I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Fidelity Investments (Boston, MA) in Jan 2009
Interview
Well organized. Met a lot of people. Overall made a strong impression,
mostly 1:1 meetings with a "stock pitch" at the end.
Advice: do not over think the stock pitch - there is not a lot that could be learned on a co' in 2.5 hours - focus on what you can know and not on what you can't and make assumptions when necessary. Communicate your assumptions and the reasons behind them. Stay focused and confident but open for additional data/ views.

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.
