I applied online. I interviewed at USAA in Feb 2025
Interview
Short OA with easy and mediums LC questions. You get 30 minutes to complete this. Afterwards you schedule a phone screening and then you move onto the final interview with a SWE and DIrector of IT where you get asked 2 leetcode easy (find the median and mode in a list and a sliding window problem).
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Talk about a time you saw a potential conflict arise and what steps did you take to prevent it from happening
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.
