February 1, 2024
Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I was scheduled to speak with a recruiter for 30 minutes.

They were nice, but I expected to be tested on technical questions related to Java.

I did not make it past this round, as I struggled to answer the questions.

I would recommend reading up on Java fundamentals before having the first chat with the recruiter.

Questions

Explain why you would want to override the equals method.

What's the difference between a checked and an unchecked exception?

What's the difference between inheritance and composition? Explain the two.
