Tenure over skill
Tenure over skill
Good work, friends. Good pension.
The company promotes people based on their time in the company rather than based on skill and ability to do the job. This means you end up with people unable to do their job effectively getting promoted. The company has some weird policies that are outdated around promotions. These policies prevent the right people getting to the right position.
Look at a person's experience and skills rather than their length of tenure in a job.

Fidelity Investments Interview Questions
Fidelity Investments Interview Experiences
Senior Software Engineer
The first round was a phone interview with HR. The second round was a technical/behavioral round with the hiring manager. The final round was a live coding/technical round with 2 principal software engineers. The whole process took almost 2 months
Senior Software Engineer
The interview was easy, but the interviewer was bad at his own concepts. He did not have proper communication skills and did not explain the coding questions correctly. This led to a lot of wasted time, because of which I could not finish the second

First round was a screening call, which got postponed for a week. Then I went for a technical round. Interviewers were not welcoming. It felt like an interrogation rather than an interview.
