I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Fidelity Investments
Interview
Stay away from this job! The interview was ok. But interview was director wasn't so structured. The director seemed quite disorganized and didn't know what he wanted. no smile and nothing truly reflect the culture of the workplace. The place does respect talents at all. If they were interested in you, they asked you to come for an interview in a short period of time and very inflexible or inconsiderable of rescheduling. But if they failed to answer one question that fit well their expectation, they would reject you and WOULD NOT TELL you. So you are desperately looking for a job, then try this place. But if you have more choices, go with some other places. Most of the places would pay higher bonus and total compensation. Here the compensation is around the industry average and PLUS the culture sucks!

Other Financial Analyst Interview Reviews for Fidelity Investments
I applied online and expressed flexibility regarding salary, emphasizing that my primary goal was simply to be given an opportunity to be considered. Unfortunately, I never received any response, even as I continued to see the same position reposted week after week and month after month. As a candidate with a near 4.0 GPA, the lack of communication was especially discouraging. I also invested over $500 in professional attire, shoes, and travel expenses in preparation for the process. I would appreciate more transparency and communication throughout the hiring process, as the experience left me feeling overlooked and uncertain about where I stood.
