Process
I applied online through Honor Society.
After 2-3 weeks, I received an email for an online assessment.
It consisted of two parts:
- Some behavioral and Java questions
- Three coding questions
The coding questions were not particularly difficult, but I became very nervous and struggled with the I/O (BufferedReader) part.
Questions
Java polymorphism, 3 coding questions, binary search
