Behavioral Technical Coding

I went through 3 rounds of interviews. The first was a screening call with the recruiter where they asked basic questions about my visa status, previous companies, salary expectations, location preferences, and willingness to relocate. Then, I had a 30-minute behavioral interview that went well, focusing on scenario-based questions like managing academics and internships simultaneously or handling a team. The final round was a technical interview for this entry-level position. The interviewer had a list of questions primarily on Java concepts and Spring Boot, including topics like CRUD operations, OAuth 2.0, custom exceptions, APIs, JDBC, and shallow copy, all theoretical. At the end, I was given a coding question based on Strings, asked to optimize it, and then explain my solution without executing it. After the interviews, I didn't receive any response despite sending follow-up emails.

The interview process was very cold and lifeless, quite formal. There was little to no discussion about future prospects or opportunities, so I didn't get a feel for the atmosphere or culture.

Technical Coding Behavioral

We began with an online test, which was pretty straightforward apart from one coding question that was a bit harder. Then, I had a technical interview where we discussed problem-solving and some concepts. Lastly, there was an HR interview to check how well I communicate, if I'm a good fit, and what my career plans are.
