Financial Software Development (Entry Level) Interview Experience - Italy
Process
I have applied from my school's job board with my resume (no cover letter), and got contacted by them to continue the process with the 45 mins - 1 hour phone interview. The interview started with general questions, as: Why do you want to work in that company? Tell me about yourself. Questions then continued with pretty intense, high-level technical questions. I was requested to select a language to be interviewed about. Choosing Java, I was asked questions, as: Details about JVM, how Java code is executed, how it is different than the others. Details about object-oriented programming, polymorphism (run-time vs. compile-time), functions (call by reference, call by value), programming design patterns.
Questions
