The interviewers were pretty rude and seemed narrow-minded. They didn't even introduce themselves, which was weird. Honestly, I'd say don't bother with this interview. The questions themselves were easy enough, like basic SQL and a couple of list manipulation tasks.

Behavioral Other
The recruiter who called me seemed shady from the get-go. When the call started, the connection was bad and the person was hard to understand. He was pushy and adamant about me attending a Java Bootcamp as soon as the call started, and keep in mind I have never talked to anyone at this company before this. I received no explanation or details about what/who this company is or the position I would be filling. Everything about the call seemed like red flags. Be careful when talking to this company.

It was a good experience overall because the interviewers were nice and encouraging, and they even offered hints when I was stuck.
