Process

After talking to the recruiter, I was called for an onsite interview with four people. Each interview lasted 30-45 minutes, and it went well.

One week later, the recruiter called again and said that I would have another onsite interview with executives. I went for this second onsite interview with four executives for 30-45 minutes.

Questions

First onsite interview:

Questions ranged from Java (HashMap, ArrayList, Collections, JVM), REST API design, design patterns, and some data structures and algorithms.

Second onsite interview:

This interview was mainly with executives. Questions included discussing a difficult project, what you would have done differently, and why you are interested in this position. No technical questions were asked.
