I applied online. I interviewed at Fidelity Investments (Raleigh, NC) in July 2020
Interview
This was probably the weirdest interview I've ever done with a hiring manager. It was an hour of him grilling me on specific code that I had written for other companies and about my personal life and my relationship. He got angry with me when I couldn't give away confidential information from my previous positions. I was completely ghosted after this call.

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.
