One initial call with a recruiter to verify past experiences and a few other standard questions.

I had a one-hour panel interview with two managers, one tech lead, and a business analyst. It was a pretty standard STAR interview.

What would you do in a situation? They had to have mentorship experience and some Java/Spring technical questions. Not too hard technically at all.

Very unprofessional experience. After the interview, I did not hear back from them at all. When I followed up, the recruiter kept saying they were interviewing other candidates.

After two weeks, suddenly out of the blue, they said they wanted to offer me. They came a little short of my range, and the negotiation was going on for about three days.

Suddenly the recruiter came back again and said the position was on hold. They told me they were rescinding offers throughout the company.

I had another offer, and I almost let that job slip just waiting for them. Looking back now, I think their intention was never to hire.

Tell me when you had to mentor junior developers.

Interface vs abstract class.

Tell me the design patterns you know.

Hashmap vs. Hashtable.

XML vs. annotation.

Spring @RequestMapping.

DI and bean types.
