I had a very strange (weird) experience interview with REI. One of my colleague recommended me and I applied the position through REI website. The recruiter got back to me the next 2 days. We talked about the position and REI then she disappeared after that for about 2 weeks. I got an email from her later indicating that she'll send me a link to do a digital interview. Well, if you haven't heard about digital interview, here's a brief description. You're required to dress up like the real interview and sit in front up a computer that has a camera. You'll be asked questions and you answer to the camera, the application will record your answers and send to the hiring manager or whoever at the end. They gave a programming question required me to code in Python and other questions that don't relate to the position I applied. I told the recruiter about that and mentioned to her that I applied for the Java position, not Python. She said she would ask the hiring manager. Then she told me the hiring manager said if I don't know, just answer "I don't know" to the question. What is that? How am I going to pass the interview with that answer? At the end of the interview, the application pops up with a survey. I felt like they are doing the test on the application instead of the interview. After that I haven't heard back from them.

Interview is not difficult. Questions are more of team building than technical. Friendly members in panel. Interview is not difficult. Questions are more of team building than technical. Friendly members in panel.
