Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Someone called and asked random stuff about my resume. They found one Java program and grilled me about Java. Then they asked things about Linux when I said I have used it. Another interviewer asked me to work on hash maps. The first part of the interview felt pointless, but the second interviewer asked meaningful questions.

Questions

How do you install packages in Linux?

What is the data structure behind a hashmap?
