Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I had a phone screening split into two parts.

The first part involved Java technical questions and basic concepts such as Overload vs. Override.

The second part was a little more difficult, where I was asked a scenario question: What happens if I have a website that is running slow? How can I improve its functionality?

It was essentially a troubleshooting question, asking what else could be done if a certain approach didn't improve the system.

In all, it lasted 40 minutes.

Questions

The interview was split into three parts.

The first part consisted of behavioral questions, such as "What's a project where you demonstrated leadership?"

The second part was technical, where I was asked an assortment of Java and SQL questions, including "abstract class vs. interface" and "indexing within SQL."

The third part was a relaxed discussion about the team's current work.

Was this helpful?
