LEAP Software Engineer Interview Experience
Process
Initial call with recruiter was great. They asked some basic OOP questions and if I had experience with SQL.
About a week later, I got scheduled for a final round. The interview seemed like it went well. There was no coding.
The interviewer just asked if I could reverse a string in Java, but I didn't have to code it. Instead, I had to describe it.
I was told I'd hear from them in about 1-2 weeks. That was a month ago. No responses from the recruiter. I'm assuming I've been ghosted.
Questions
Reverse a string in Java.
Tell me a SQL query that gets all the first names that start with "A" from a table called Persons and columns 'FirstName', "LastName".

Fidelity Investments Work Experiences
- 3.0Less Than IdealLEAP Software Engineer • Current EmployeeMay 5, 2021Pros: - Good pay - No micromanagement - Learning days - Encouraged to move within companyCons: The LEAP program has been terrible. It is essentially 4 more months of college after you graduate. Lots of hand-holding and forced classroom-style learning. Instructor-led training is mostly a waste of time here. There's a high chance that you will be working with an outdated tech stack after LEAP. You may also be placed into an unfavorable role with little to no technical mentorship and with minimal transferrable skills. They will try to tell you that Fidelity is a "tech company that does finance," but this is not the case. In short, not a great place for new software engineers. If you have another offer, I would highly recommend considering working elsewhere.
