Entry Level Software Engineer Leap Program Interview Experience - United States
Process
After emailing with a recruiter and an initial phone interview, I was asked to interview. Since I was out of state, they offered a video interview consisting of one 40-minute behavioral interview and one 40-minute technical interview. Both interviews were with one interviewer.
The behavioral interview was mainly concerned with teamwork and how to resolve conflict and handle difficult situations.
The technical interview was partly describing what the program will require, part Object-Oriented concepts, and part coding. All were pretty simple, and both people I spoke to were very friendly.

- 5.0Amazing Learning Experience as a Software Engineering InternSoftware Engineer Intern • Current EmployeeMerrimack, New Hampshire, United StatesNovember 17, 2025Pros: My internship at Fidelity was an incredible experience that exceeded all my expectations. I received strong mentorship from experienced engineers who were always willing to guide me, review my code, and help me grow. Fidelity invests heavily in training, and I had the chance to work with real industry technologies including Python, Flask, AWS (DynamoDB, S3), Docker, Snowflake, and CI/CD tools like Jenkins. I wasn’t just shadowing; I owned meaningful backend development tasks for a cloud operations project, built RESTful APIs, and collaborated closely with the frontend team. The culture is genuinely supportive, team-oriented, and focused on helping interns develop both technically and professionally.Cons: None major. Fidelity is a large company, so it can take a bit of time to understand the internal tools and request access, but everyone is willing to help.
