I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Fidelity Investments (Merrimack, NH) in Jul 2011
Interview
I was contacted by a recruiter about two weeks after I submitted my resume on their website. I spoke with her for an intitial interview where I was asked very basic questions about my background and skills. I then had another phone interview with one of the managers to go into a little more detail about my experience. After that, I was flown out to their office in Merrimack for an in person interview. I had three separate interviews that each lasted 45 minutes. The interviews themselves were very casual and I could tell that they were interested more about fit rather than my actual qualifications. I was asked maybe five "typical" interview questions total, and the rest of the time was more of a conversation about the position, company, area, etc...
The whole process was wonderful. I was kept in the loop the whole time about next steps and where the hiring managers were in their decision making process. I spoke with someone from Fidelity's HR almost everyday. They were incredibly helpful in letting me know what I needed to do on my end, and what was going on on their end. Overall, I just felt very valued during the whole process and during the interview. I wasn't made to feel like a "number," but an actual person that they were genuinely interested in getting to know.
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.
