I applied online. I interviewed at USAA (San Antonio, TX) in Nov 2023
Interview
The first part of the interview is a coding assessment. I would not recommend applying for this position if you are unfamiliar with coding. Take some time to practice coding in any language you prefer, then once you’ve learned the the foundations of coding, submit your application.
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.

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?
