The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Southwest Airlines (New York, NY)
Interview
Flew to Dallas, met with team, hiring manager and HR, no response yet to emails for the outcome of interview. HR needs to be more responsible and accountable, a total waste of time.
Coding interview was fairly normal, and for my position/experience, I was also questioned on AWS. I felt it was more geared towards understanding how you think than expecting you to solve an extremely difficult problem while nervous.
