Stage 1: Initial Screening (HR/Recruiter)

Stage 2: First Technical Interview (Technical Staff Member)

Purpose: To evaluate your fundamental coding abilities, problem-solving skills, and understanding of core Java concepts. This interview will likely include a coding challenge focused on Strings (LeetCode Medium).

Java Core Concepts: The interviewer will likely ask questions to assess your understanding of fundamental Java principles:

• Object-Oriented Programming (OOP): Encapsulation, Inheritance, Polymorphism, Abstraction. Be prepared to explain these concepts with examples.
• Data Structures and Algorithms: Basic knowledge of common data structures (arrays, linked lists, hash maps, trees) and their time/space complexities. While the coding challenge focuses on strings, they might ask about the underlying data structures used to implement string operations.
