      Associate Software Engineer Interview

      29 Oct 2021
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Austin, TX
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Southwest Airlines (Austin, TX) in Oct 2021

      Interview

      I had an introductory HR screen interview and nothing else. I'm not sure what would come after, but to be honest I'm glad that I didn't progress any further. The recruiter ran me through the gambit of standard, empty, soulless questions that really had zero bearing on how I would perform at Southwest Airlines. I answered every question they asked the same way that I answered questions for other companies where I progressed further in the interview process. The only question that differed was the "Why do you want to work for Southwest airlines" question. Ultimately, it became clear that Southwest is not interested in any employees that don't suck up to them because I told them that I did not know much about Southwest as an employer yet, but was looking forward to learning about them in the interview process. I didn't get a second interview.

      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Southwest Airlines

      Interview

      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.

      I interviewed at Southwest Airlines

      Interview

      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 interviewed at Southwest Airlines

      Interview

      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.
