Process
They contacted me from Monster and set up the interview via email.
Once they called, they asked me many technical Java questions that I easily answered. They asked me about:
- Messaging
- Classes
- Recursion
- Data structures
- SQL
- Transactions
- Hash maps
- Interfaces
Then they sent me an exercise that I had to answer within one hour. The exercises were rather simple, and they asked to write real, compilable code.
