I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at FIS (Orlando, FL)
Interview
Applied online, got the response within 1-2 weeks to complete two surveys for two positions, then received invitation for an interview for one position only (project manager II).
I have absolutely know idea why I was turned down. She asked (Carol Duncan) simple questions about my background. The interview took 10 minutes.
I had worked as a project manager in financial businesses including banking. I have on my resume everything they needed and more, education-wise and experience-wise.
The next day they send this message:
"After careful consideration, we regret to inform you that you have not been selected for this position." Whatever that means.
If my experience and education are matching well, what else she didn't like so much that she didn't even let me do one face-to-face interview after 'careful consideration' same day??
Just like many other large companies, they make it appear being "a good place to work" in ratings, but in reality it's not quite a place for everyone, is it?
Since there is no explanation to why they turned me down, I guess the advice is to ensure you know how to get though the subjectivity of a first level interviewer.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at FIS in May 2010
Interview
I barely was asked any questions. It was a straight forward interview focusing on my past. I met with 3 people total and also had a phone interview which lasted only a few minutes.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Asked about how to compete against Netflix if I had my own company. It didn't add up to what I was doing.
5 interviews including phone interview. Not very difficult interview but had to meet a lot of people at different locations. Initial phone interview, three personal interviews, 2 phone interviews, extremely thorough background check via third party. Included blood tests etc.
