Process

I received an automated email to complete a "coding challenge." It consisted of two (easy) programming problems to be solved within 60 minutes.

A week later, I received an email from a recruiter. We then set up a phone "chat" to discuss my background and projects.

Next, a technical phone interview with an engineer was scheduled for the following week. This interview included knowledge-based questions about my background, garbage collection, and memory latencies, followed by programming problems.

Questions

What are typical latency times for registers, CPU caches, memory, disk storage, network, etc.?

How does garbage collection work in Java?
