Entrevista
Spoke to some USAA representatives at a career fair and was offered a chance to interview. Additionally, I was given a wonderful opportunity to have dinner with some of the employees after a teacher of mine put in a good word for me. As a USAA member and a long history of having military in my family, I was ecstatic for this opportunity. USAA seemed like such a great company.
At dinner there was about eight others who would be interviewing the next day. The dinner was very casual and comfortable. At the end of the night we were explained that the interview process would be casual and they would be asking us some behavioral questions to better et to know us. What a lie that was.
The next morning when I went in for my interview, I was taken to a small room with two current employees. I was then handed a packet of papers. The interview was not casual. It was not behavioral questions. It was a written test and the interviewers just stared me down while I went through it, offering little to no help when I came across poorly worded questions.
This has been one of the worst interview experiences I have ever been through. It was stressful to an uncommon degree. Additionally, all the employees who had seemed so kind and courteous the night before had suddenly all become very cold, quick-tempered people. While I find USAA to still be a good bank, I now think very poorly of this company. All of the other students who were interviewed said they had the same experience. We were all lied to and the workers had all become very cold during the process.
Not a company I would ever be interested in working for again.

Entrevista
Starts with a phone call for general background questions regarding your experience. They share information about the internship. Following this I had a short coding challenge on hackerrank consisting of 3 easy leetcode questions with a 30 minute time limit. Finally I had a zoom interview with two senior engineering personnel where they shared their experience both in and out of USAA. The interview then lead to a few behavioral questions and 3 basic technical programming questions. One question was describing a time I failed in a job setting and the steps I took to fix this error, another was how I would go about working with a difficult team member, use the STAR method and you are set. Programming questions consisted of basic easy leetcodes such as checking if an array of bracket chars is balanced and another was counting the amount of some char in an array, these questions are given in word form without actual code so you should clarify with your interviewer the actual data structures you will be assuming for input and output, your answer can be in pseudocode. They asked about personnel projects and extracurricular activities and my roles in them and at the end gave me a chance to ask about any questions or concerns I had with the internship.

The process starts with a phone screen with a recruiter. At first thought I got ghosted because recruiter called towards the end of the scheduled window.
If I remember correctly, there was a coding assessment. Nothing crazy if there was because I completely forgot whether there was or not.
Finally, as expected, is the final interview. Mine was not the best. It was half behavioral and half technical. They asked super easy coding questions, where you just need to talk about how you would solve it (NO CODING). My interviewers had difficulty with Zoom so they couldn't figure out how to display question prompts at first and then they hung up prematurely.
One half of my interviewers made this a less than ideal interview. From the beginning of the interview to the end, they were shaking their head at nearly everything I said (including me simply stating my name and about me.) Honestly felt disrespectful and not a company I'm going to give attention to again.

Why did you make a web application over a mobile one?
The first part was mostly behavioral questions to see how you would fit in the company. The second part was describing how you would code a function. You just need to. describe it.
