August 1, 2020
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied through an employee referral, and the process took 3 weeks.

  1. The first round was with a recruiter, then I moved to the next round, which was technical.
  2. Technical interview: a. Describe your project. b. Trivia questions. c. Live coding.
  3. I received a reply from HR 10 days after the technical round: "Your technical round went really very well, but unfortunately, we have managed to close the job position last week. Let us know if we can save your profile and connect with you when a new opening comes."

That was it!

A very unhappy and unexpected experience from such a well-known company.

Questions

  1. Explain how the JVM works.
  2. GC deep understanding questions.
  3. TCP/UDP working and applications.
  4. TreeMap vs. HashMap.
  5. Live programming.
