Coding Technical

So after you apply, the recruiter will give you a call first. Then, you gotta do two coding questions that they email you. You can take your time with them, it's usually about an hour. They're pretty easy though. Lastly, there's the technical interview where they ask about Java, Spring, and SQL stuff.
