Java Software Engineer Interview Experience - Barcelona, Spain

July 1, 2019
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

  1. Videocall from HR (30 min)
  2. Interview on site with some team leads (1h)
  3. Tech interview on site with senior team members (1.5h)

I told them that I only had one year of experience, but they wanted to interview me anyway. The tech interview was very hard; they asked me a lot of questions that I didn't know due to my lack of experience.

I had a bad time there. It was a waste of time for me and them. It could be a good place to learn, but they need to review the hiring process for juniors.

Questions

Code smells: review some code on paper and tell them what should be different.

Given some unit tests, you have to finish the service part to pass the tests. The keyboard was English; if you are not used to its interface (because of a Spanish keyboard), you waste a lot of time.

Whiteboard exercise: design some classes and the relations among them.
