Process
I applied for the LEAP program on their software engineering track after interning there last summer. I believe that the interview process is much easier for interns than for people applying immediately for a full-time job. The behavioral interview was pretty standard and basically just a conversation. Some questions were:
- Describe a time you had to deal with a difficult team member?
- Describe a time you received praise for an accomplishment.
The technical interview was not too bad either. I think that I had a more difficult interviewer relative to others, but there were a couple questions about object-oriented programming (difference between abstraction and interface, etc.).

Good company in the US, unprincipled and unstructured in India
Software Engineer/Developer • Former Employee
Bengaluru, Karnataka, India

Pros: Company with great management and pedigree, but only in the USA.
Significant on-site opportunities for a valued employee in India.
Cons: Top performers are not valued; appraisal rates vary drastically across verticals for the same performance rating.
Inept and lax HR group; I wasn't even given an exit interview upon leaving.
A very bad company in India to start your career with: uncompetitive salaries (fresher salaries unchanged for 7+ years), no good onboarding program, "chalta hai" attitude. Fresh recruits were kept on the bench for 15+ months with no HR assistance.
The India office is full of management politicking with little opportunities that aren't gimmicks.
Fidelity in the US might be a great place to work, but not so in India.
No synergy across Bangalore and Chennai India sites.
Fidelity India lies to Fidelity US (fact).
