Technical Coding
The interview had two engineers, one focused on backend questions and the other on frontend. It kicked off with backend questions about Java, specifically around the configuration aspects of Spring. They asked about setting up two data sources, managing two transactions, configuring role-based authentication without using the @HasRole annotation, setting up Oauth2, the reasons for using Stream API, and the syntax for ManyToMany mapping. Following that, there were frontend questions related to Angular, focusing on how to create an Angular component. The interview was heavily based on theoretical, configuration, and syntax-based questions, with no logical problems. If you don't know the syntax, it's probably not the interview for you.
Confirmed questions1 question
- Questions mainly concerned Configuration and syntax for Java and Angular.
