The interview could benefit from a more structured approach.

The introduction felt abrupt. There were communication challenges due to the interviewer’s accent, which made it difficult to fully engage.

During the coding round, I was asked to jump straight into the code without explaining my thought process. This left me unsure if my earlier responses had influenced this. It felt like there was little room to showcase my problem-solving abilities.

Additionally, limited time was available at the end to ask about the role or team, and the responses received were quite blunt.

The interview started with these questions:

• What will happen when you call a Kotlin function that takes a non-nullable parameter from a Java method and pass a null value?
• How is the performance of native components better than that of hybrid development? Why is it suggested?
• You have a wheel that is running laggy on the UI. How do you check what is wrong? (All of them are UI components, so moving the code to a background thread is not an idea or can they? If so, which part will you move?)
• How do you improve the performance in the above scenario?
• What are the advantages of Kotlin over Java?
• Why did you start developing using Jetpack Compose?

Another question is about finding the number of alphabets to insert into a string to make a string a palindrome.
