Java Developer Interview Experience - Berlin, Germany
November 1, 2012
Positive ExperienceNo Offer
Process
I applied through a German recruiting agency.
After two interviews via Skype (not very difficult), they invited me to their office in Berlin (they covered all expenditures, including flight and hotel).
There were three interviews:
- Interview with HR about salary and organization.
- Technical interview about Java, with usual technical questions plus a whiteboard programming exercise.
- Architecture-related interview, where I was asked to design a high-load system and describe its implementation.
Questions
How would you implement data exchange communication between two projects?
