I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Principal Financial Group in Jan 2021
Interview
Online videos and then the in person interview was a technical interview that was creating a class and a few methods that parse through data. It was completed with other people and they encouraged googling resources and asking clarifying questions. It was a few behavioral questions and then the coding, and it took about 30 minutes altogether.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell us about yourself, why are you interested in the position, and then the technical part.
easy behavioral and technical questions, and a coding portion. Just basic star behavioral questions with typical responses, this is after an initial hirevue. Technical just tests your data structure knowledge and is not too hard.
