The whole interviewing process is pretty straight forward, the first half is on understanding of Java and OOP design, and the second half of the interview is about behavior questions.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at USAA
Interview
When I first went the had the initial interview with a large group of candidates at Pappasitos. The kind of interview that you aren't suppose to know is an interview but that's obviously a behavioral one. Then I meet with two managers for the second part of the interview. Where they ask all the standard what are you skills and what was the most challenging thing you have had to deal with. But to be honest I probably asked them more questions than they asked me.

I applied through university. I interviewed at USAA (San Antonio, TX)
Interview
1st interview was on my college campus, it was one on one, and not very technical. 2nd interview was onsite, single interview with a manager and senior software developer, also not very technical. For the second interview we were put up in a nice hotel and taken to dinner as a group by a manager and a relatively new software developer. In the morning we were all picked up and taken onsite for a tour and interview. It was an all day thing, but only one interview.
