Process

I applied online and received the first phone interview invitation three or four days later.

The first round focused on basic Java knowledge.

The second round phone interview required internet access. The interviewer sent a link to my email, similar to CoderPad. I was asked to complete some coding exercises.

Both interviewers were very pleasant. The pace was quick; once I answered a question, the interviewer moved on to the next.

Questions

Basic Java interview questions.

For example, how does HashMap deal with collisions?
