• Recruiter call
• First Round: Technical (1 hour)

The manager was good, but the panel of interviewers during the in-person round seemed like they were learning how to interview people. The panel appeared to have worked at a single organization and lacked a complete view of overall industries.

In the technical phone interview, the interviewer asked about various Java OOP concepts, Spring, and REST. It was a good experience.

In-person:

• We looked into the dead code of my craft demo and they asked questions about it, even though I mentioned I hadn't had time to clear it up.
• Exception propagation.
• Concurrency control techniques.
