Me postulé en línea. Acudí a una entrevista en Fidelity Investments (Boston, MA) en may 2017
Entrevista
30 minute phone call with a recruiter, 30 minute phone call with the hiring manager, and about a 2 hour onsite composed of four 1 on 1 interviews with the hiring manager and 3 engineer/architect/director.
The phone calls were pretty much the standard behavioral questions like why Fidelity Investments, tell me about yourself, what you'd like to do, etc.
The onsite interviews were most behavioral questions, but there was 1 "technical" round. The technical round wasn't based on problem solving, data structures, algorithms, team work or any of the standard technical interviews you'd expect. It was just a bunch of questions on specific parts of technologies and the expectation was that you would be able to read the interviewers mind and respond with the exact answer in his head. Other than the "technical" round, the other interviewers went pretty well; the interviewers were friendly and the conversations were good.

Pregunta 1
Unfortunately, I do not remember any of the specific questions asked in the"technical" round. They were a bit ridiculous. No SQL/databse, data structure, algorithm, concurrency, programming language specific, etc related questions.
HR was the first round
Followed by HM
HR asked for availability and resume then just disappeared
Even after following up, no response
Then next week for the same role, same message she sent to a friend of mine

1. DSA Round (Easy Level)
They usually don’t go very deep into complex algorithms. Expect fundamentals like:
Anagram check (e.g., compare two strings efficiently)
Palindrome check (string or number)
Basic array/string manipulation
Sometimes simple hashing or sorting logic
2. DBMS Basics
What is a primary key / foreign key
Difference between SQL joins (INNER, LEFT, RIGHT)
Basics of normalization
Simple query writing
They usually keep it conceptual + a few practical questions.
3. OOPs Concepts
Very standard questions, such as:
Pillars of OOP: Encapsulation, Inheritance, Polymorphism, Abstraction
Real-life examples
Difference between overloading vs overriding
Why OOP is useful
They may ask you to relate this to your project.
4. Puzzle / Logical Thinking
These are not super hard—just to test reasoning:
Basic math/logical puzzles
Pattern-based questions
Situational problem solving
5. Project Discussion
Explain your project clearly:
Problem statement
Your role
Tech stack
Be ready for:
“Why did you choose this approach?”
“What challenges did you face?”
“How would you improve it?”
