I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at State Farm (Atlanta, GA) in Feb 2018
Interview
Filled out an application online for Entry Level OO Software Engineer.
1. Phone Interview
2. In person interview
During the phone interview they asked you to rank preferred place of work out of 4 locations they have. Bloomington, Atlanta, Dallas and Phoenix are the choices.
I Choose Atlanta They scheduled an interview for me there. When I got to Atlanta I was notified that I don't know why they scheduled your interview here we aren't even filling any positions here.
1. Phone interview is easy Straight forward behavioral questions. Tell me about a time when you ....
2. In person interview has two parts: Behavioral and technical. Google Object oriented programming questions for Java and brush up your skills and you will do fine. One of the questions that you are not going to find is that UML. They asked me if I knew UML. Also if you write down Mobile developer they might ask you questions based on that. I didn't have anything written on my resume about mobile development so they skipped that part.
They will also show you a small code and ask you questions along the line which one would you choose and why. The is written in Java because they are a Java shop.
ArrayList employee = new ArrayList();
vs.
List employee = new ArrayList();
As soon as I saw the code I was like there is something wrong with the syntax first, but after the interview I looked at some old old old Java code and learned that before Java 1.5 there were no Generics (ArrayList<Employee>).
Oh they do not email you and tell you that you didn't get in. You need to keep looking at their application site. (Kinda lame, don't you think?)
