The phone screen was easy, with some basic Java questions followed by a relatively easy SQL question. The last question was the kind of ridiculous "gotcha" type that some interviewers like to ask, akin to a problem they encountered and spent a week solving, yet feel compelled to ask you during a phone screen. I was invited to the face-to-face interview.

One of the interviewers was a slimeball. I didn't answer one question correctly (an easy one) simply because I don't remember all the API details. The guy kept smiling without correcting me, basically behaving as if I had answered it perfectly. Other interviewers were very skeptical about my resume; it felt like they thought I was being fake, though I'm not sure why.

My overall impression is that this company lacks morals. By talking to someone, I realized there's a real fear of layoffs present in the building, despite current hiring. I wish good luck to whoever gets this job instead of me, as I don't think I could work there, even if I received an offer.

There were no really difficult questions. There were lots of questions about joins, including how to do left joins.
