State Farm Junior Software Engineer (AWS) Preliminary interview
Made it to the preliminary interview for state farm junior software engineer (AWS) role. The first round was an online hirevue coding test and behavioral/technical questions. The second part of interview is - "The virtual management interview will include a panel of 2-3 people and you’ll be asked behavioral-based questions and technical questions" Does anyone know what I should expect for this interview? what questions they'll be likely to ask or if there will be a coding section for this interview as well? anyone out there interview recently? #interview #statefarm #softwareengineer

How’s the online assessment? I have one and was wondering if it was a leetcode easy medium?

Pretty standard behavioral interview. “Tell me about a time…” questions, look it up online. For a Junior role, they’re trying to make sure you’re not a psychopath or didn’t misrepresent anything. The two times I’ve ever heard people failing this type of interview were (a) someone that lied on their resume, and (b) this man was applying and the panel were 3 women, one of whom was the hiring manager, and he said that he only passed easy jobs to women coworkers because they obviously would not be able to handle difficult tasks like men could.
Thanks this helps a lot, I did a coding challenge in the previous hirevue interview should I expect a coding challenge on this interview as well? or is it more just asking verbal questions about the technology I've used and worked with?
I wouldn’t expect anything technical. Depends on the hiring manager, but that’s not common. If the position is eminently technical and the hiring manager wants to make sure you know something specific to their space they might ask you just to find out where you’re at and how you compare to other candidates. Most likely it won’t be technical, it’s more stuff like “how would you behave if your manager told you to do something that you thought was the wrong thing to do?”. Read up on the STAR method for answering these questions, practice a bit if you feel like it, but chiefly don’t worry too much.
