First Phone interview
Second phone interview
Job offer
It took months and the reason behind that is I applied in fall but the company's hiring process only starts in the spring semester.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Fidelity Investments (New York, NY) in Apr 2013
Interview
Fidelity allows prospective employees to apply online for several positions at once. If there is a match, HR will reach out and discuss the follow up steps. The first time I applied I used the online option, but if you know someone at the firm, your application can be fast tracked and targeted towards a specific branch (my second interview happened this way).
After submitting my application online there was one brief phone interview, followed by a 1-1 the next week. The final round occurred 2 weeks later with the head of the branch and a senior account manager.
The interview focuses heavily on your "story" and why you want to work for the firm. This was a client service role so interpersonal skills were in focus, with no technical questions of any kind. These interviews were for an entry level position when I was first looking for work in NYC, and both times I lost out to a more qualified candidate. As I understand it, the roles were given to applicants who already had their series 7 or had experience at another firm.

I applied online. I interviewed at Fidelity Investments (Albuquerque, NM) in Apr 2015
Interview
I filled out an application online and they called me within a few days for a phone interview. We set it up for April 3rd at 11:00 Am. I did research on the company and all things considered felt I was prepared. She called at 11:15 AM which did not set with me well. She told me about the salary and stressed that "did I have" debts, a criminal back round, had I ever been discharged from a job etc. and then moved on to the questions which were mediocre in difficultly until the last and final question.

Question 1
The questions were pretty standard. Where do you see yourself in five years? Why do you want to work for Fidelity and how did you find out about this position? We were on the phone about 45 minutes and then she asked about if I had metrics or goals at my job and i said yes and explained some general goals we had as employees but were not assigned individual goals as it is a retail setting. She then asked me to give specific details of a phone call I had received at my job where I had to uncover an unspoken need that a customer had. Sorry no specifics in my brain. Something that I don't deal with but once every few years and with that it was over and she said she would not be asking me to move on with the interview process based on that. She also said I should work on my behavioral answers and reapply so I thanked her and said I would although I absolutely won't reapply. I didn't like the undertone in her voice and she sounded as though she could become irritated very quickly-don't know and its not important but I can move on and hope this helps someone who is a better fit for the company.
