I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Fidelity Investments (Durham, NC) in Aug 2019
Interview
The actual interviews were fine and all but I’m just here to explain how AWFUL, disorganized and sketchy the campus recruiting staff has been to me and three of my peers. I got an offer but they took months to get me the offer in writing and then insisted I must sign it within 2 weeks EVEN though the actual letter in writing did not match what they said during the verbal offer. It’s absurd and I have never experienced anything this bad with any other company.
I applied through college or university. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Fidelity Investments (Chennai) in Jul 2021
Interview
Fidelity hires their interns directly from college. It usually visits Tier A engineering colleges during their 3rd year (i.e) the start of the 5th semester for internship alone or at the start of 7th semester for a Full time role. I got hired as an intern during the 5th semester. The first round was a Online Assessment that was conducted using HirePro. There were 10-15 aptitude questions along with some questions in DBMS, Operating systems and Computer Networks. There were 2 coding questions which had a time frame of 1hr. Students who cleared these rounds were selected for the interview process and had 2 or 3 rounds of interview which includes an HR round.

I applied online. I interviewed at Fidelity Investments
Interview
hirevue -> recruiter phone screen where they ask you to describe OOP -> 40 min final round that was mostly behavioral. Interviewer asked me fizzbuzz then more questions about past experience, etc. Interview process was standard, no curve balls and all behavioral mostly.
The process was a quick behavioral screening, and a longer interview with a Engineer; we just talked about my projects and goals. There was no technical portion of the interview process, but this is dependent on the interviewer
