Process
I was interviewed first via the phone and was asked pretty basic questions about Java Garbage Collections and JUnit testing.
After that, I had four 1:1 30-minute interviews. I was asked questions that were more scenario-based and also on optimization, performance management, and general system architecture.
However, I did not get an offer after a two-week wait time.
Questions
What is the concurrent mark-sweep algorithm for garbage collection?
