Senior Java Developer Interview Experience - Bengaluru, India
Process
I was approached by a recruiter on LinkedIn.
She scheduled a short call, following which I was sent a link to a HackerRank test. There were two questions of medium difficulty, both on DP.
A week later, a telephonic round was scheduled, with short questions on web protocols and frameworks, and two coding questions of medium difficulty, again on DP.
Following this, there were two technical rounds, each with two DSA questions. The topics were mostly DP and DFS. I could answer only one question in each round.
I received a rejection email about 10 days later.
Questions
Most of the problems were on DP.
