I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Fidelity Investments (Smithfield, RI) in Jul 2015
Interview
I feel compelled to post this review as I continue to see this job appear on the job boards. As an internal applicant, I was granted a telephone interview with two women (Glassdoor doesn’t allow using titles here), and never have I experienced two people more disinterested in talking to me. It began with the first woman pointing out the most important thing is for me to explain the one-year gap on my resume, "We definitely want to hear more about that!" Really? I should have ended the call right there. (Newsflash to hiring reps of America: LOTS of people have a gap on their resume due to something called a recession of which you are clearly unaware). Next, the second woman sternly explained to me that this job requires all artwork to be created in InDesign and would I “be comfortable doing that” – again, I should have realized this was a bad job and ended the call – InDesign for creating artwork? Seriously? This job description demands the candidate be completely up to date on every design package, yet this person clearly hasn’t updated their skillset in over a decade, meaning the job applicant must “dumb themselves down” to work with this person. I said I'd need to see a demonstration of just how they're going about doing this. Moving on to reviewing my portfolio, I was ready with a ton of samples (we were sharing screens). Because I had quite a few pieces and we were only scheduled to talk for 45 minutes (another red flag, this interview wasn’t even worthy of a whole hour of their time) I asked were there any specific pieces they wanted me to talk about first, i.e. anything they particularly liked/disliked? The second woman did what she did thru the remainder of the whole call which was to say nothing, and the first woman said she HADN'T EVEN LOOKED at my portfolio. I said, oh, I thought I sent you the link with the login info (I keep it protected under a password), and she said "yeah, but I couldn't be bothered.” Wow. So, I talked thru every piece whilst neither of them said one word. At the end, I asked about the video requirement in the job description and immediately pulled up some videos I did...neither of them knew what to say to me, finally the second woman mumbled "oh we just need someone to know how to upload a video to our website." In summary, a horrible, demeaning and downright offensive experience, probably the worst in my career.

Question 1
I want to hear more about that gap on your resume; are you comfortable creating artwork without Photoshop and Illustrator
I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Fidelity Investments (Gurgaon, Haryana) in Aug 2015
Interview
It's already been more than 2 weeks since I was interviewed for the role of Associate Business Analyst at Fidelity Business Services (Gurgaon). I haven't heard anything from them since then nor from the consulting company (New Star Consulting) who submitted my profile to them.
The interview was pretty easy and I don't think I answered even a single question wrong. The interviewer wished Good Luck for the next rounds and asked me to wait for the HR. HR had least idea about this interview process and came back after an hour saying that you shouldn't have waited as it was a mini drive and no further rounds are scheduled for the day. I asked when would I get my feedback to which she said that it would be available in next 2-3 days. Since then I have been waiting for their mail/calls. They don't even reply to the numerous mail/calls that I sent them in these 2 weeks.
I took a day leave from my company amidst an important release and this is what happened.
P.S. Make sure in advance how many rounds of interview are they gonna take on the 1st day.

I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Fidelity Investments (Chennai)
Interview
There was an online exam in which they selected some 80 odd people. After that everyone of them were subjected to Interviews to test the skills for which they applied. Since I had applied for Software Engineer , I had to face three rounds which were Technical, Behavioral and finally the HR(not necessarily in the same order). I went till the end and the HR interview was short but satisfactory.
