I had an interview with a recruiter for a consultant position. A face-to-face interview was required and the whole process took three and a half hours.

I met three developers and one manager. It was mostly technical-related questions, for example, how to reverse a string recursively.

They also asked a few questions not related to Java at all, such as CORBA and C++, because they were on my resume. That really got me, as I did not prepare for that.

There were Spring and Hibernate questions as well, for example, why you get a LazyInitializationException and how to avoid it, and Spring design patterns.

Why is a C++ destructor defined as virtual?

How to find the square root of an integer.
