I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Fidelity Investments (Boston, MA)
Interview
Referred by a friend who spoke highly of its culture. Everyone in this process was so nice. The manager was very kind and cared about me even though I was just one candidate. I think it implies their good culture. Even though I eventually lost to the other candidate who had more relevant experience, I feel positive overall. The senior manager's interview was very chill and relaxing. The analyst asked more technical questions but very basic finance one, and he was friendly even if I was stuterred a little.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
-Why Fidelity?
-If you could choose one financial statement or two
-Why is interest rate/WACC/WAM important?
-What's non cash expense
An initial call (recruiter or manager) to confirm basics: your background, your interest in the role, your availability, behavioral questions.Depending on role, they might do a more comprehensive interview loop: more senior leadership, maybe product or technical review, maybe presentation of past work or portfolio.

Interview
I had a virtual interview for a summer internship that I assumed would be behavioral. However, it presented several unexpected and challenging questions, which made for a surprisingly interesting and thought-provoking experience.
