This was a contract position; I was approached by a consultant.

First round was coding plus multiple choice questions on HackerRank. Time duration: 2 hrs. I would say it was too much for a 120-minute test duration.

Second round - Zoom interview with the hiring manager.

It seemed like the hiring manager did not have an idea about what to ask in the interview. He asked me about my experience, the reason for gaps in my career, and told me, "Why don't you go back and join your previous employer?" which was none of his business. He did not show a good attitude. I was not able to connect properly.

The test consisted of 19 questions, including 5 coding and the rest multiple-choice questions on SQL, Python, REST, and DBMS.

Coding questions were on string manipulation, multi-dimensional arrays, and Hashmaps.
