I applied through college or university. I interviewed at USAA
Interview
Met with recruiters at a university job fair. Spoke with them for a bit about my resume and received a call for an interview the next day. Interview consisted of a math problem relating to programming, a code design problem, and a "creative thinking" problem.
Few weeks later I received an email to arrange for an on-site interview. The interview process over there was the same - math problem, code design, and creative, but this time they ask you about your interests so they can place you into a team that better suits your interests.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Don't remember the numbers exactly, but it was a scenario with a bike lock consisting of 5 numbers. The first number was 3 times the 2nd number. The 2nd number was half of the 5th number plus 3, and so on.
Pretty standard, 3 questions for OA then an interview with the potential team. But the behavioral questions they asked were very specific and were not the general ones you would find online. Also the vibe depends on the people who you interview with.

Question 1
If you were given a project without clear instructions, how would you approach it?
First round I received a technical coding assessment around a couple weeks after submission. Then next stage I got invited to a 15 minute phone screen. I got rejected after the phone screen.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at USAA (San Antonio, TX) in Nov 2025
Interview
First round 3 easy LeetCode questions, second round phone call screener about generic eligibility, final interview via zoom by a panel of 2 managers. Final interview questions were generic behavioral questions and some code analysis.
4. [Look at this Java code; 2 basic classes, ~50 lines] What will happen when (line of code) runs? How can this program be improved? How would you implement error detection?
