The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Fidelity Investments (Merrimack, NH) in Aug 2011
Interview
I had two separate 1:1 interviews, one with the hiring manager and the second one with his manager. They were well organized. They were looking for a very specific candidate with the perfect skillset who can hit the ground running. The candidate must present him/herself well and be well versed in being able to convince the hiring manager(s) how his/her skills will be an ideal fit for the organization.

Interview
There was a phone screen by HR, followed by a phone screen by a developer. At the former I was told that quantitative skills were important to the position,while at the latter I was told that they weren't and then I was asked to rate myself as a programmer on a scale of 1-10. When I said 6-7 I received a string of extremely easy technical questions such as the differences between a do-while loop and a for loop. I was not asked about object-oriented programming at all, although a lack of that knowledge was given as a reason in the subsequent rejection letter.
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Fidelity Investments in Jul 2008
Interview
I was interviewed by a team of developers from India who reside in the United States. It was difficult to understand the questions over the phone which made it hard to be successful in winning the job.
