Phone interview with HR to make sure I understood the position. At end of call they said they’d be in touch to schedule a follow up. Second interview was a longer video chat interview with hiring team

Question 1
Asked about experience working with large data sets and working in a team environment
There were 6 separate 30 min interviews with an excel test at the end. There were general questions testing financial literacy and getting an assessment of personality fit for the company. Overall, it was a pretty standard process.

Question 1
In a discounted cash flow, what levers most drastically influence value?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Fidelity Investments (London, England) in Sep 2021
Interview
The worst experience of my professional career. This was a horrible 'interview' conducted by someone who did not want to be there, and made this obvious. Lasting all of 15 minutes, this 'interviewer' worked on a second monitor while going through the motions. Asking automated questions while I spoke to the side of their head. Horribly unprofessional and downright rude. The arrogance demonstrated here by mid-level analyst management is, according to subsequent discussions with seasoned professionals in the industry, representative of a broader culture of smug indifference within the company. Avoid - there are so many more opportunities for you out there that you don't need this toxic setup.
