Why do you want to work at Southwest?
Past projects
Panel interview with senior leader from one of the divisions, a manager/consultant on the team, and the recruiter. Overall felt based on vibes with the team and fundamental object oriented programing questions as well as some behavioral ones. Answered most of them correct but was likely denied because I was being nervous/awkward.
Chaotic. The recruiters and interviews seem disorganized. Had to organize the interview twice and they were late to both. Not super difficult interview since its behavioral mixed with technical questions.
I got an email to schedule a 45 minute phone call with a recruiter. Once I passed that round, I got another email to schedule an hour long video call with 5 people who are in the team I was interviewing for.
