Process
The first interview was a technical phone screen, where I was asked about the four basic concepts of OOP, some questions about Big-O time to access elements in different data structures, and a really abstract question about how I would describe the internet.
I was then called up to their headquarters for an onsite interview with about 20 other interns. It was a three-round interview process. I was asked frequently about design patterns and SQL.
Questions
Define the synchronized() method in Java and give a situation in which it would be used.
