Process

Unstructured interview where if you are not Indian and within a certain caste, you will not get hired.

One of the interviewers asked me how to design a reservation system. I got into the details, and then he stopped me.

He then started asking me questions that even he couldn't understand, such as Java validators. He asked me any question he could find in the book to fail me.

MF, why waste my time if you didn't want to interview me?

For the use case, I was asked why companies do acquisitions, and then he gave me code and asked me to debug the logic.

Questions

Why do companies make acquisitions?

What are Java Validators?

How do you debug in Kubernetes?
