I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Fidelity Investments (Los Angeles, CA) in Feb 2015
Interview
Met two local branch managers at a college career fair, talked with them, and gave them my resume. Three weeks later I was asked to come for an in-person interview at one of the branches. I interviewed directly with the branch manager of that location who asked me questions about why I was interested in financial services, and quite a few questions of the "Tell me about a time when you had to deal with an upset co-worker or customer and how you handled the situation?" variety. We also roleplayed an interaction with an upset customer where I had to demonstrate professionalism and identify and address the core issue the "customer" was having. We also briefly discussed my familiarity with investing and they talked in depth about the certification process.

I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Fidelity Investments (Smithfield, RI) in Feb 2024
Interview
Hard process. Will not consider if you don't have a 3.0GPA. Received my decision 20 mins after I applied which was no. If you haven't heard back from you application in 20 min that's probably a good sign.
