Lead Technical Architect Interview Experience - Phoenix, Arizona
Process
Very poor interviewer, asking basic questions about how to write a Java class, how to inherit a method, etc.
I'm surprised that I was asked basic Java questions for 40 minutes of a one-hour interview for a Lead Tech Architect position, which should involve creating reference architectures in BPM and SOA.
Questions
How do you inherit the properties of two classes (not interfaces) in a child Java class, where those two parent classes are not related and have no inheritance relationship between them?
