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.
