I first had a phone interview where I had to brief them about my past experience, my course projects (I am graduate masters student) after which I was asked a couple of HR questions. They confirmed my onsite interview the same day.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Mostly all questions were straight forward where they covered mostly all the basics of programming language (Java in my case), algorithms, Networking concepts, talked about my prior telecommunication industry experience, asked questions on telecommunication domain.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bandwidth in Oct 2022
Interview
It's important to mention that this was my first interview...I've started the interview process by having a HR and a technical discussion with a recruiter from Ireland, the overall experience was great. But, when I got to the technical interview, it's another story, so the first problem for someone with no prior experience whatsoever, is given a task to solve a problem using a digital tree... Even at the faculty they do not teach this deeply as for other algorithms. Couldn't solve it, and I moved on to the next one which was an average problem, the thing is that they've putted an accent in knowing the syntax very well, and when I wouldn't know something they would reply "How can you not know that?", and for a first time interview it lefts you with a bitter taste. To mention that there are two technical interviews, in the second one there was not a point in going to it, because they've told me that I suck.

Question 1
At the HR interview, those classic questions like: How can you solve a conflict in your team? What did you learn recently? At the technical interview I had a discussion about the projects in faculty and Agile methodology. At the technical interview? Solve this given problem using a digital tree and I remember it was something with prefixes. The second problem was something to find the maximum score in a list, the average score, and how many times someone broke his records- this was an ok problem.
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Bandwidth in May 2022
Interview
Initial phone screen with recruiter -- going over the position, basic experience/resume stuff.
Interview with software manager -- ~30 minutes going more in depth on experience/resume and technologies used in the position.
Technical panel interview -- 30 minutes with software manager, 1 hour with two senior developers on the team, 1 hour with two staff developers on the team.
All in HackerRank during a video call.
Fairly basic array-based leetcode question and REST API design question. More resume/experience questions and a fair amount of behavioral questions (tell me about a time when...)
Did not receive offer, but was suggested to interview for a different role. Was then ghosted for weeks, and had a very similar experience to a recent reviewer.
Had an interview lined up for the new position which was rescheduled with no notice an hour before the interview and then canceled outright on the rescheduled day a week later with a note that the role had been closed.
All the interviewers were nice, and I enjoyed talking with them, but the process was a mess!
I applied online. I interviewed at Bandwidth in Dec 2020
Interview
Pretty standard process. First call with a recruiter, then an onsite interview with members of the team. As others have said, they expect >3 references if everything goes well. Other than that, everybody was nice and the response rate was fast.

Question 1
For the onsite part, I got ask a lot of graph/2D array questions.
