Long interview process but they give a lot of information during that time. They also provide a lot of resources to learn more before the interview and even allow you to do a simulation and course for a certificate which can increase your chance of getting chosen.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Fidelity Investments (Westlake, TX) in Aug 2024
Interview
Thirty minute phone interview regarding past experience, STAR questions, and lots of the main, basic interview questions. The interviewer was pleasant. A simple interview. Some questions about taking the SIE practice exam.

Question 1
Tell me about a time you went above and beyond in a customer service role.
Only had a phone screen, recruiter was rude regarding my past history which is funny because this is a very entry level position. Told me in order to pass the financial exams I would need to study outside of work, maybe a good opportunity for some but led me to believe work-life balance has more to be desired. Lots of STAR questions during the initial phone screen, seems a little early in the process to dive into those.
