I applied online. I interviewed at New York State Education Department
Interview
I interviewed with two different teams that were both hiring for software developer roles. Both were panel interviews with four interviewers, but the formats were different: one focused entirely on behavioral questions, while the other involved a medium leetcode problem that emphasized problem-solving and approach rather than getting the correct answer. Received offers from both roles and found both teams to be really accommodating and friendly.

I interviewed at New York State Education Department (Albany, NY)
Interview
I thought my interview went well and they were hiring for two positions. After several weeks, I followed up with one of the three interviewers who replied and said the selection process was still underway. After several more weeks, I asked her if I would be notified either way once the selection process had been completed. A week went by with no response so I sent the same question to all three of the interviewers and not one person could be bothered to respond. I guess professional courtesy is not a high priority at NYSED.
