Java Developer Interview Experience

Process

This was the worst interview experience I have ever gone through.

I got a call from Chewy HR regarding an opportunity, and the process involved the following:

  • Java online questions to solve in 10 minutes. It was easy if you are good in Java.
  • A technical interview for about 45 minutes. The interviewer was not that experienced and was asking questions from the internet.

I had answered all/most of them, and he seemed quite satisfied.

I didn’t hear back from them even after three days. When I checked, they said I was using legacy technologies (I was like, really?). I am using Java 8, Spring, Angularjs, and Oracle. I never knew these were legacy :).

Even HR didn’t have much of an answer. First of all, HR called me based on my resume and said I was a well-fit for their team. I never expected someone would give such a bad reason. Be careful with these guys; it looks like they select only based on references.

Questions

Class loader question (It is common in Chewy that this is the first question you get there).

Some questions on the collection framework.

Question on inheritance and how to call super of super methods.

Basic questions on JMS and RPC.

Questions on immutability.
