I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at FIS (Sarasota, FL) in Mar 2014
Interview
Lots of process and technical questions that pertained to a Project Manager role. Met with a senior project manager and after talked to two people who I believe were the manager and an employee of the team. First person was to see if I was even worth pushing through to the hiring manager, which I was.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Please give an example of a project you were responsible for and owner of from inception to its completion.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at FIS
Interview
Very straight-forward, single interview, talked a lot about my ideas for the direction of automation. Most of the interview was generic, high-level question-and-answer style. Very straight forward and not at all technically challenging. It actually surprised me how little of my technical knowledge they tested. I would strongly suggest FIS start doing behavior or IQ style tests where you have the candidate do the test on-site or something similar. While there are a lot of good technology people, most of them are very shallow in their general knowledge.

I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at FIS in Oct 2015
Interview
I interviewed for the GT.M project in FIS Global. Round 1 involved compiling and running a GT.M database. I was given access to source code. I had to use a Unix based system to compile it. Round 2 involved technical interview with a senior programmer. The job description mentioned the importance of the knowledge of DataStructures and Algorithms. That should have been my first clue.
