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 questions [1]
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.
