Domande di colloquio per LEAP Program - Software Engineer presso Fidelity Investments

Recruiter reached out after applying through their website and went through a phone screening that was a run through of my resume. After the phone screening I was scheduled for a panel interview (2 senior employees) about a week later. The recruiter explicitly mentioned how the interview would be non-technical (explicitly said "no live coding") and at most there would be a whiteboard problem, for instance hand-writing basic SQL code, and conceptual questions about algorithms, data structures, SQL commands, polymorphism and inheritance. He mentioned that the program was moving away from "traditional SWE" and more toward candidates with an understanding of generating business value. However, there seemed to be a disconnect between the panel interviewers and the recruiter on this information. The interview started with only 2 questions from my resume and then went straight into 3 live-coding technicals (1 in Java, 1 in Python, 1 in HTML). The interviewers mentioned how they had been interviewing for many years for the program but had never done a panel interview like this one. The disorganization was apparent as they clearly had different interviewing styles. For anyone interviewing I would recommend practicing coding questions on java, python, html, and sql for the interview because no matter the change in program, it was clear the interviewers are still judging your coding skills. The questions are not difficult though and the interviewers will help you out when needed. The interviewers put in their recommendations to the LEAP program at EOD but were uncertain about the timeline for when I would hear back. Overall, the process was not technically difficult but extremely frustrating because of the misinformation and panel structure.

easy behavioral questions. Leetcode easy. Asked about how to reverse string and how to populate a multiplication table. I did it using java, but did not optimized the code. In addition having no mobile dev experience.
