I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Fidelity Investments in Oct 2016
Interview
I applied online through a campus recruiting initiative. After an online application, I did a behavioral phone interview, and moved onto the next round. The in-person interview was part technical and part behavioral and lasted about an hour. The two recruiters at the in-person interview alternated asking technical and behavioral questions on UML, basic SQL, and project/situational "what would you do" questions.
