Process
An internal recruiter contacted me via LinkedIn.
I had two screening interviews:
- One phone interview.
- One interview via BlueJeans.
These interviews were spaced approximately two weeks apart. The process was very slow.
Everything seemed very easy, but after a long time, they emailed me to say they were moving forward with other candidates. :)
Questions
The phone interview was purely technical and it went very well.
It covered basic Java, multithreading, OO concepts, databases, algorithms, Java collections, etc. This one went very well.
The next BlueJeans Video interview was just behavioral, and everything seemed to go very well.
All the questions they asked were very simple ones. For example, they asked how I approach a problem and then tried to dive deep, following my answers to explore my behavioral and technical skills.
Was this helpful?

Everyone is committed to helping one another, no matter how busy they are. It's very much a meritocracy; if you do well, they will give you more responsibility so that you will always feel challenged.Cons: It's not an environment for superstars if that is what you like. All important decisions are very much group-based decisions, and the culture is very team-oriented. You are graded on how well you perform in a team because it's very important.
