I interviewed at State Farm (Richardson, TX) in Sept 2024
Interview
The process began with a recruiter screen, followed by a very tough Hackerrank-style assessment. After passing that, I had a 3-hour virtual panel interview. The first hour was a live coding session where I was asked to write code for a complex algorithm on a shared editor, followed by behavioral questions and system design scenarios.

Question 1
What was the most challenging task you faced, how did you overcome it, and what did you learn?
It consisted of three rounds: screening coding, self-recording interviews, and panel interviews. Panel interview was very technical, and questions were closely related to the job responsibilities. The difficulty for coding assessment wasn't as bad but definitely need to know the basics.
