      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Southwest Airlines

      Interview

      Coding interview was fairly normal, and for my position/experience, I was also questioned on AWS. I felt it was more geared towards understanding how you think than expecting you to solve an extremely difficult problem while nervous.

      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Southwest Airlines

      Interview

      Got a response from the recruiter 2 months after submitting the application. The first interview was talking to a recruiter about the position and your resume. The second round was a panel interview with the team, all behavioral questions, going over your resume, and hearing more about the position. The third round was a second panel interview with the same team; some more behavioral questions, technical questions, and work/background experience. Didn't hear back after couple weeks despite follow-up with recruiter.

      Question 1

      What do you want to work at Southwest? Where do you see yourself in five years? Describe a time when you had to take business requirements and translate them to technical requirements.
