I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Fidelity Investments (Jersey City, NJ) in Feb 2024
Interview
The interview process was straightforward. Everyone was helpful including the recruiter who was active in reverting back. The first round consisted of talking to Hiring Manager who asked quite a few conceptual questions like: regression tests, projects worked on in the past, drilled down a bit more on resume projects and their concepts.
The second round was surprisingly the final round. There were 2 engineers: one principal and another lead engineer who again drilled down on resume projects and many fundamental concepts. Front end questions included: HTTP, Cross site scripting, a coding question (possible ways to climb stairs), and angular lifecycle hook components. Backend questions like Rest API, use of microservices, how important is regression/unit tests, multithreading in Java etc.
Eventually everything went well and I got the offer. Since the pay was bit lower for the role I got, I decided to decline the offer. Would definitely opt for a higher role in the future for more salary.
