I applied online. I interviewed at Fidelity Investments (Boston, MA) in Feb 2023
Interview
1: Recruiter Call 2: HackerRank 3: Onsite: The onsite is a a bit different I will say. The interviewer was nice. They have a set of questions specific to the technology they use and the questions are to test your knowledge on that. 1 hour interview will be divided into different sections a) Spring boot questions(basics annotations) b) Angular Basics like what is a derivative c) CI/CD pipeline qs d) Database queries e) Any queue service or something they would be using in job Now, I can understand they have a tried and tested method to hire talent and I respect that, but rejecting solely on basis of this is just different and very demotivating imo since the candidate gets no idea of how they did or what they were lacking. Not knowing an answer to questions which they are using in their project is not a correct judge of what someones capabilities are.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is spring boot, DB queries, some basic angular questions. Just know what you have worked on.
I interviewed at Fidelity Investments (Smithfield, RI)
Interview
Started with a recruiter screening, followed by a 60 minute panel interview where we did a coding problem and discussed technical background. The interviewers were very friendly and I felt confident. Been a week, waiting to hear back about next steps
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Fidelity Investments in Jul 2026
Interview
The interview process was more like a conversation. The first part of the interview was a phone call. The second part is a 1 hour long interview split into 2 parts. A 30min behavioral and 30min technical with 2 different people
HR was the first round

HR asked for availability and resume then just disappeared
Even after following up, no response
