I applied online to a Java oriented developer job. I got an email from the recruiting coordinator asking me to reply with answers I had entered in the digital application.

From there, they scheduled a single hour interview with 4-5 interviewers. Three of which showed up. Two of the interviewers were technical, one was the hiring manager,

The technical component of the interview was undergrad book questions.

• "What is an ORM"
• "When would you use an abstract class versus an interface"
• "How does the ORM related to a NoSQL database"

The hiring manager asked me what I was interested in. I said building new and interesting things. She said something to the effect of "we are an O&M shop. This job us just to maintain." Then she logged out.

What is an ORM (they wanted to be tricky and not say object relational model)
