I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Fidelity Investments (Dublin, Dublin) in Aug 2020
Interview
First-round was an HireVue Video Interview process which consisted of 7 questions to be answered with 3 mins allotted for each question.
Second-round was a Zoom interview call with the Manager and Principal Software Engineer. They covered all the areas such as technical, architecture design and behavioural questions.

I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Fidelity Investments (Galway) in Mar 2026
Interview
The worst part of the interview was the silence and the lack of any feedback afterward. The standard automated response was, “We’ve decided to move forward with other candidates.” Even though I completed two tasks in 45 minutes, and during the second interview, the manager himself said that all my answers were good.
