The interview process felt pretty random and not very structured. They seemed way more focused on testing aspects like TDD, BDD, and integration testing, which was surprising since I expected more focus on development. It was almost like they were hiring for testing roles, not development ones. I heard about a friend who had a really good resume and experience but got rejected just because he didn't know TDD and BDD, even though he was great with unit and integration testing. It's wild because he got shortlisted by Amazon and Walmart, but Intellias passed on him. Weird and a bit of a bummer. The first step was an MCQ test and a simple Spring Data JPA project, which wasn't too tough. Then, in the first technical interview, I had to do a coding problem. It was a bit rocky at first, but I got it done. Honestly, the interviews were just confusing and didn't have a clear point. Usually, interviews check for DSA, Java, Spring, and system design, but it wasn't clear what they were actually looking for here. To make things worse, the HR team totally went silent after the interviews. No feedback, no word on if I passed or failed, which is pretty basic professional stuff.
Confirmed questions1 question
- Could you fill in the missing methods in the Spring Data JPA project according to the specifications?

Technical Coding
The process involved a call with the recruiter, followed by a tech interview with an expert, and then a small test work. After that, there was a call with the DM, and finally, the offer was extended for accept/decline. It was a fast process with quick feedback. The interviewers were nice and professional, making it a nice experience with a great company.

Coding Technical
The interview kicked off right away with a live coding challenge, skipping any personal intro or experience talk. It felt like university days, coding in a basic Windows notepad. After that, there were a few standard questions, but then the interviewer dove into really specific 'geek' questions about the garbage collector, which didn't really show my programming skills. My suggestion would be to focus on more hands-on questions rather than just theoretical ones.
Confirmed questions2 questions
- Can you explain the details of each garbage collector type and why it was developed?
- What are the in-depth details regarding the GC topic?
