Process
The process starts with an HR call, then a 90 minute technical round where the team asked questions regarding Java, SQL, OOP concepts and gives a coding problem, then final round with hiring manager.
It seemed like there was a lot of miscommunication within the team and the HR. They needed someone with an expertise in DevOps yet the HR didn't emphasize much on that. I made it through the technical round where the technical panel did not ask any questions regarding DevOps practices or tools either, but hiring manager rejected me two minutes into the call because my prior experience in DevOps was not enough. It would have helped if they titled their position as DevOps engineer instead. Pretty disappointed!
Questions
Questions about Java and OOP concepts including inheritance, abstraction, abstract class vs interface, multiple inheritance, collections. The coding problem involved use of a stack data structure
