For the MBA internship position I had 2 Interview round. First round two case. Second round 2 case with Senior Director or VP and occasionally will ask for a group interview.
First round case interview; focused heavily on the qualitative side.
Personalized rejection; 1:1 call to provide decision and high-level feedback on reasons for rejection. Overall a human-centric process that didn't feel run of the mill / overly standardized as some others are.
The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Fidelity Investments (Marlborough, MA) in Feb 2009
Interview
Consisted of 4-6 one on one interviews with employees ranging from general management actuaries (ASAs and FSAs) to Vice Presidents. It was definitely not the behavioral type grueling questions I was expecting. I also had the chance to go out for lunch with a couple of employees who had been hired in the past couple of years and it was nice to get their perspective of working for the company.
My advice, if you are confident in answering why you are interested in the position, the company, and of your knowledge of the importance of the position in today's economy, that is a big plus. The company seems like it is looking for bright individuals with great communication skills and a drive to excel in the chosen career.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The most difficult questions had to do with how the company and the position I was applying for fit into today's economy. What risks or challenges does the company face and how will the position I was applying for improve these risks.
