I applied through university. I interviewed at General Motors (GM) in Sept 2020
Interview
I applied through Handshake from my university for GM's early career talent program. The entire interview process took ~1 month from start to end. The initial interview was a one-way behavioral interview done through HireVue. The questions were typical behavioral questions, you had 2-3minutes to answer each question and also had 2 attempts.
About a week after finishing the behavioral assessment I received a 2-question coding challenge, 20 minutes for each question, which was through HireVue as well. The questions were standard leetcode easy questions. The questions required parsing standard input which I was unfamiliar with since I didn’t know my RegEx (Oops!). However, I wrote the code for the rest of the question and left a comment about how I didn’t know how to parse stdin for one of the questions and for the second question I was able to pass the tests.
Surprisingly, I passed and received a request for a brief phone screen 9-10 days later with a current software developer. They asked basic questions about background stuff, career goals, and I received a request for a video interview 1-2 weeks later. The video interview was 2 hours overall, a 1 hour technical interview going through my resume and another hour with typical behavioral interview questions.
I was extended an offer by phone a couple days later and had a week to accept the offer.

Question 1
Distance between some points.
Parsing standard input
Was very quick and straightforward interviewers were kind and explained clearly what they required from me. Primarily focused on my background and where exactly I would fit best in the company
Online coding assessment and then two back to back one hour virtual interviews. First part was more technical, the second was more behavioral. It was a pretty casual interview and felt more conversational.
