I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Best Buy (Minneapolis, MN) in Nov 2021
Interview
A Recruiter call Then a call with hiring manager about work experience. Followed by a Coding round. In the code round the interviewer asked me to write a Spring based Rest api in Java in a hackerrank type environment without spring libraries. I asked do you want me to write some psudo code as the environment didn't have Spring libraries, He said NO, I wrote a mvc type program in that one page. It was confusing, seems like the interviewer didn't think that through. I did not get any communication after that round from Best Buy
