Process

The recruiter was efficient in setting up the phone and on-site interviews.

The phone interview consisted of Java questions, covering:

  • Basic concepts
  • Object references
  • The Singleton pattern

The on-site interview included questions on:

  • Linked lists
  • Recursion
  • Multi-threading
  • Unit testing, particularly in terms of Test-Driven Development.

They seem to be very focused on Agile methodologies.

The main requirement was not only to solve the problems but also to solve them in the manner they preferred or suggested.
