Process

Written technical test held by the recruiter. Brief chat on the past working experience with recruiter then introduced to interview with employer. Very compact interview process within 2 days. First day involves meeting multiple groups of prospect hiring managers. Java related technical questions, very basic concept, static, final, inner class, how to declare instance of inner class, what's common usage. How to define a GUI- skeleton code. Asked to describe algorithm/data structure to model a building in virtual reality application. Write down skeleton code for Shell script to handle log investigation. Second day summoned in again to further verify the technical skill set expected by the interested hiring manager. Application of analytical skills in a real-time support scenario, given an architecture diagram, asked to explain the problem diagnostics process. Asked to explain TCP/UDP and related tools. Very quick decision after process is completed.
