I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Fidelity Investments (Chennai) in May 2018
Interview
Applied in LinkedIn easy apply and recieved a call from HR the next day. Since the budget wasn't surplus, the HR conveyed that they couldn't proceed further. A couple of days later, the same HR got in touch with me and this time she said, she had consulted with her recruitment manager and if I could deliver an exceptional performance, I may get a hike according to the industry standards. I agreed upon that and we proceeded with the first telephonic round and I cleared it. I was told that, if I could clear the first telephonic round, I would be called for an onsite interview. But after that they had included one more round since they expect something very exceptional from me and that's going to be a telephonic round as well. After that round got completed, I was told I didn't clear it and eventually I couldn't continue with interview process. To my surprise, the second telephonic round was much easier and few questions were already asked in the first round. This kind of budget shortage and hiccups in the expectation left me some bad impression on the company. On the other hand, the HR was polite and she gave me the reasons on why I was rejected in the second round and that reason was directly pointing to the deficit budget.
