Round by round

  1. 1

    Screening Round60 min

    The process began with call from recruiter, asked about my current role, tech stack, and interest in switching, which felt more like a casual chat than a formal screening. After confirming availability, they scheduled the first technical round.

  2. 2

    Technical Round 160 min

    resume-driven and java related question was asked Basic-to-intermediate Java questions:

    • Object-oriented design concepts (polymorphism, inheritance, encapsulation)
    • Difference between checked and unchecked exceptions
    • Common Java APIs and collection usage The technical portion about 30 mins. The remaining 15 mins were spent discussing the role, team expectations, and tech stack.
  3. 3

    Technical Round 260 min

    Java Questions Advanced OOP paradigms (interfaces, abstract classes, design patterns) Exception handling (custom exceptions, multi-catch, try-with-resources) Problem-Solving a. Maximum Subarray b. Verbal Arithmetic Puzzle Only pseudo-code not whole implementation SQL Question

    • Find the employee with the minimum salary in each department.
    • Again, the focus was on explaining the approach clearly, not just writing the query. By the end, the interviewer seemed satisfied with both my coding and SQL answers.
