I interviewed over Skype. It wasn't too hard. Since I applied for a Senior Java Developer role, the questions were about my past experience and the projects I worked on, specifically which parts of project creation I was involved in. There was also a technical Java test and an OOP test.

I got contacted in June about this job and was told I'd get a call in a few days to set up an in-person interview. But then, four months later, a different manager called me back. Turns out they were reorganizing when I first reached out. I met with the manager and four teammates. They asked me some standard tech questions about Java, databases, and operating systems, but nothing too deep.

Confirmed questions3 questions
  • Can you tell me about basic Java data structures?
  • What are the fundamental mechanics of databases?
  • Could you explain the basic mechanics of operating systems?
