Application
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Fidelity Investments (Dublin, Co. Dublin) in May 2017.
Interview
Was rang by the HR team to arrange an interview in their Dublin Offices. The first interview was a technical interview with a senior software engineer and a senior project manager. Both were lovely and put me to ease straight away. The technical interview lasted one hour and covered everything from java, SQL, OO diagrams to SDLC. got a call the following day to attend the second stage which was a HR competency based interview with a HR manager, which took place the following day. Typical STAR type competency based questions. Got a call the following week with an offer.
