Process
I received the call for the online test approximately 7 months after applying.
The coding tests were straightforward, with some coding-related MCQs and two simple programming questions.
Round 1: Round 1 was good and interactive. The questions asked were mostly behavioral, and data structures and algorithms based. I solved the two programs.
Round 2: This round was totally unexpected. The interviewer asked detailed technical questions, such as:
- What are the internals of a Set?
- How to make an immutable class?
- Implement something using Streams and Lambdas.
- Etc.
For a while, I wondered if I was applying to a tech company or to a college to a CS professor.
Overall, I sensed a lack of freedom and too much narrowness in terms of technical requirements.
