I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Fidelity Investments (Bengaluru) in Jun 2013
Interview
4 rounds
1. Tech round - 2 case studies(telephonic)
Face to face rounds:
2. HR round(how do I fit in, expected salary)
3. Tech round -2 case studies
4. Manager round-going through resume
Tech round questions were very good but I could come up with the right answers. HR round consisted of some checks to see consistency,interest in the role, whether I would stay with them etc. Manager round was less structured and was similar to HR round.
Interviewers were polite,patient and helpful. Not much scope for negotiations.
My offer was confirmed through a job consultant but it was cancelled the next day due to some reason related to background verification. This reason was very unconvincing and a stark contrast to all the proceedings before. Very disappointed at this turn of events.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
No unexpected questions. In tech rounds case studies related to statistical model building, assumption checking, graphical interpretation, capacity planning decision making etc were asked
I only did two steps of the interview process, the first was the usual recruiter screening. The second was a panel of about five people, only one or two of which asked questions. The others were just there to listen and chime in.
The interview process was very straightforward. I recruited for a full time role just out of undergrad and it was similar to every other interview process I have gone through. Submit your application, call with HR, followed by additional rounds of interviews.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Fidelity Investments (Boston, MA)
Interview
The interview process at Fidelity Investments typically involves several stages and varies by position:
Initial Screening: Usually a phone interview with a recruiter to assess basic qualifications and cultural fit.
Second Round: This may be a one-on-one interview with a hiring manager or a video interview with team members, focusing on technical and behavioral questions.
Final Rounds: Often includes panel interviews with multiple team members or senior managers, where they assess problem-solving skills, technical knowledge, and overall fit for the role.
