I met with six individuals, including managers and tech leads, in a single day that spanned from 9 AM to 4:30 PM.
Managers typically described their products and gauged how my personality might fit within the team.
Technical leads probed me on finer points of Java development, including heap/stack questions and JEE. I was also asked brainteaser-style riddles.
