Java Backend Developer Interview Experience - Barcelona, Spain

October 1, 2018
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I had a 30-minute chat with a recruiter.

Next, I was called for an on-site, one-hour interview where I was asked general questions about Java, JVM, concurrency, and more.

Following that, I was asked to take the "King test," which involved about 10 hours of programming at home.

I was then invited for a code review. The interviewers pointed out errors in my code in a friendly enough manner. I felt I was able to justify my mistakes, and they seemed to accept my corrections.

The next morning, I was simply told, "We've decided not to move forward with the process." I never received any further explanation when I asked for feedback or the reason behind their decision.

Questions

What do the parameters in HttpServer.create(...) mean?

Are exceptions really necessary, or is it just better to pass on error codes?
