I applied through university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at USAA in Nov 2013
Interview
Initial communication at college career fair. Had dinner with recruiters the day before on-campus interviews and was invited to the next round of interviews at USAA two weeks later.
USAA interview was pretty simple, very similar to the on-campus interview. No technical questions, just "how would you design this" and teamwork questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
No real technical interviews. Mostly problem solving.
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.

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.
4. [Look at this Java code; 2 basic classes, ~50 lines] What will happen when (line of code) runs? How can this program be improved? How would you implement error detection?
