There was an initial recruiter phone screen, followed later by the technical phone screen.

The tech phone screen began with introductions. The interviewer wanted to know about my work and projects. I explained in detail, and there were no follow-up questions or acknowledgments. I asked him specifically if he had any questions.

The interviewer did not show his face on camera, which did not make the interview interactive. It was strange.

I was interviewing for the senior role, and the technical questions were very simple and basic. I am not sure if the interviewer was even prepared to interview me.

The interviewer did not have my resume before coming for the interview and took a few seconds to pull it out and read it.

The recruiter mentioned that I would be asked questions on DS and Algos. However, the interviewer asked me questions on SQL and Java language, followed by a basic array question. Clearly, the interviewer was not prepared.

They use Glider.ai, which is more like a simple text editor and very inconvenient for coding.

The interview was scheduled for one hour but the interviewer ended it in about 30 minutes.

I believe there is a strong disconnect between interviewers and recruiters.

Appreciate that people take time to interview with you and value their time. Please train your interviewers and sync up with Hiring Managers on expectations and roles.

1. Given an integer array, reverse the array.

2. Simple SQL query for an employee database. Query employee ID and salary.

3. Difference between String and new String().
