Very smooth gave a tecnical assignment then I did two rounds of interviews one with just the manager and the next with the team. Asked both technical and non-technical questions. Just be honest on what you do know and what you don't

Interview
Probably the worst coding assessment I have seen from a company. You are given 24 hours to complete a coding exam, but in my case 20 of those hours were spent with tech support since my exam was in a state of limbo with letting me take it. Finally with 4 hours left I'm able to open the exam only to be greeted with the message that the allocated time to do the exam is over. Reached out to USAA for assistance on the issue waited a week on HR to email me back for them to tell me they will be extending a second test for the issue only for them to change their word and ghost me within the hour.

Interview
Was a pretty straightforward process. First an online coding assessment equivalent to three LeetCode easies. Then a Zoom interview which consisted of behavioral questions and a few technical questions that you only needed to provide pseudocode for. Overall, a very enjoyable interview process.
