They have 2 rounds. The first round focuses on behavioral questions, possibly to assess if candidates are looking for a long-term internship until graduation and are in their second year of CS. The second round is a technical interview where they ask basic questions about SQL, OOP, and include a Leetcode challenge.

It started with a recorded interview where I had to answer some questions. Then the hiring manager reached out and we set up the next interview. In that one, I had to build Salesforce LWCs and an Apex class to show data, and they gave me some info about the job. The last interview involved me joining a regular planning meeting for the role, where I had to diagram the business flow in LucidChart and join the discussion. They said I'd hear about onboarding soon after. But the hiring manager ghosted me and then emailed the day after the expected call to say they changed their mind and weren't hiring me. Although the interviews were very hands-on, it felt like they were taking advantage of me for free work, making me build stuff and attend a planning meeting for an app I knew nothing about.

Behavioral Coding Technical
The hiring process at the University of Utah took an unusually long time. It started with a recruiter calling me for an initial behavioral interview. Then, I had to complete a take-home coding test, followed by a technical panel interview. The whole process lacked transparency, and the team I interviewed with seemed very unprofessional. After waiting over 3 months for a response, the recruiter sent a vague email explaining why I wasn't selected. What's worse, they considered me for a Software Design Engineer-Senior role without even asking if I was interested, despite me not applying for it. They asked questions about Java, specifically multithreading, SQL, and Spring. If you have a lot of free time, you can apply, but be warned about the long wait and uncertain outcome.
Confirmed questions1 question
- Can you tell me about multithreading in Java?
