Senior Java Engineer Interview Experience - Hyderābād, India
Process
I applied through a recruiter, and the process took one day.
I got a call from the recruiter and then had a Zoom video call for the interview. I was given only one question to code for, and that was all for that fifty-minute interview. I am not sure how people write the code for the given problem in fifteen to twenty minutes if you have not written the code multiple times for the same problem earlier. I still think that if candidates are writing the perfect code so fast, then such companies will be delivering successful products very fast. Surely, with such perfect coders, one can't expect failures and bugs in the code.
Questions
