Application
The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Fidelity Investments (London, England) in Feb 2010
Interview
Some behaviour questions, like teamwork, solving problem skill, being a fast learner etc. The whole interview took 45mins with one guy from HR and one guy from the business unit. Not much technical question involoved. The overall feeling of the interview was positive, but I did not get the chance to the next round. From the feedback I learned that I did not prepared more examples. I repeated some examples on different questions.

Question 1
How you handle the teamwork working with someone you couldn't get on with
My experience with the interview process started off promising, with HR initially being responsive and helpful. It began with a screening, followed by a brief knowledge test, and then two interviews with PMs. However, it quickly became apparent that one of the PMs had already made up her mind—her lack of enthusiasm and professionalism made it feel like the interview was just a formality. In contrast, the second PM was engaged and respectful, which I appreciated.
What was most disappointing, though, was the way HR handled the process afterward. There was no closure—no follow-up, no rejection email, just complete silence. It left a really negative impression. I understand that hiring is competitive and not everyone gets the role, but ghosting candidates after putting in time and effort is both unprofessional and discouraging.

Great interview process - first screening with recruiter to go over position and some behavioral questions. Second interview with hiring manager, asking about experience with ETFs and more behavioral based questions.
