Process

This is the second round of interviews. In the first round, I had two coding problems. In this round, I only had one easy coding problem, which I wrote on paper, not in an editor. Most of the time, I was asked questions regarding Java, OS and computer architecture, and OOD.

Questions

Talk about one object-oriented design principle and how you apply it.

Talk about one of your projects.
