Technical Coding
The first interview was online and went well, focusing on programming concepts like abstract classes vs. interfaces and String vs. StringBuilder vs. StringBuffer. The second interview was supposed to be online too, but the interviewer was on leave. I had to go to an in-person interview in another city two days later, which was a long trip on short notice. The interview started late because they couldn't get a room. They told me to study SQL, but it wasn't relevant. The questions felt random and too focused on Java, like asking about HashMap implementation. I don't know the exact Java code, but I get how hash maps work generally, and that level of detail on specific code is a lot to ask. It was clear early on I wouldn't get the job because the interviewers seemed dismissive. I think they were replacements for the original interviewer and weren't prepared. The whole thing took over two months and ended messily.

Coding Behavioral
After an introduction, there was one coding question that was a bit ad-hoc, involving arrays. The problem was: given arr=[2,5,6,7] and index=9, remove all elements present in the given array from an imaginary array that increments by one and goes up to infinity. Then, print the element at the specified index after removing elements like 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16… After removing 1,3,4,5,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15…… the output should be 13.

So, the process was a bit all over the place. Started with an online assessment on their platform, TalentTitan, which I passed. Then, after about two weeks, I got an email to set up an interview, which was technical round 1. This round was pretty advanced, focusing on system architecture, Spring Security, and microservices. After that interview, I got another email for the same round from the recruiter. I tried to email them for a quick call to understand the process better, but didn't get a response. Then I had the interview, which was more about Java core concepts.
