I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at State Farm in Oct 2022
Interview
I got selected for an initial interview after applying online. The interview was conducted on HireVue. They asked 6 behavioral and 1 technical question. It was not super hard but honestly, I don't know why they ask so many behavioral questions and only 1 technical question to a junior software engineer. After that, I did not get any email regarding the status. I entered the portal and found out that I am not selected.
