Software Developer Interview Experience - Irving, Texas

Process

I applied for this job through a Verizon recruiter.

First interview was a regular HR interview. It involved questions based on my resume and experience.

Second was a technical telephonic screening. Basic questions revolved around my resume and basic Java concepts like OOPs, Collections, Threads, etc. Some questions were asked about frameworks. Honestly, it was an easy technical interview.

Thirdly, they invited me for a face-to-face interview at their office. It is where I realized they just called you there for a numbers game. They had already decided not to hire you.

In my whole interview process, from HR to the face-to-face, all people were Indians. In my face-to-face interview, they asked me questions like, "How long have you been here in the US?" and "How did you get your citizenship?" etc., even though it was clearly mentioned I am a US citizen.

Can you imagine you went for a final interview and someone asked you these kinds of ridiculous questions! There were no technical questions or behavioral questions asked.

Later, I learned that they recently opened many data centers in India, and that's where they are doing development. I will suggest you don't waste your time there; apply somewhere you and your experience are valued.

Questions

Basic core Java questions on OOPs, Collections, Threads, etc.
