USAA Senior Software Engineer interview questions

Initially I applied online and it took 2 months to hear from a recruiter. I was already in the process of interviewing for a contract position when I was contacted. They invited me to the campus in Plano for about a 2 hr face to face with the tech lead and one of the Sr Engineers on the team. They asked basic OOP questions, a bit about my background and then there were 3 main points after that. First was doing a class diagram. I kept it simple after asking a few questions about possible future use. Next was a code review on some code they had printed out. You are supposed to review it like one of the interviewers is an intern and you are their tech lead. Nothing major just use your head and look closely. The final question (there are apparently multiple but time only gave for one) they give you a laptop and broken junits you are supposed to get working. You can google or ask any questions. Their java docs are well written and I didn’t need google. Overall this was the best interviewing process I’ve seen since everyone has gone coderpad crazy. Very real world none of the high pressure BS you get in interviews everywhere else these days.

Horrible interview process, yet there are stuck with jbos s and J2EE, they use jersey while industry has moved to rest template and spring boot and serverless. I had interviewed back in 2017 again when i applied for java back end position i was given some hacker rank question to design and develop chess board on html and some ui questions. I dont know why they wanted to test my JS skills while i applied for Java positions. Usually i dont write review on interviews but this was worst of all the interviews that i have ever been to. It made me question about myself and i was pushed into despair before i got offer at top 5 fortune company. later to realize that it worked out for me thankfully they did not offer me the role. As a java developer no one is supposed to know all the classes that you have in java there are more than thousands of classes.
