They will check your concepts and understanding on each topic, especially in JAVA and the skills on your resume. They might ask more than just standard questions and will probe deeper if they see potential. Your personality, mindset, and decision-making skills will also be assessed. Be prepared for them to challenge every statement you make, so speak thoughtfully. My advice is to be honest about your skills on your resume; focus on quality over quantity and ensure you have deep knowledge of what you list.

I joined the video interview a couple of minutes before the scheduled start time to be ready. The interviewer showed up 12 minutes late and apologized. They didn't seem interested and wanted to finish quickly because they had other interviews. The whole interview was only 12 minutes long instead of the scheduled 30 minutes. It was unprofessional of the company to hire a recruiter who didn't let me express my interest or ask me questions to get to know me better.

After applying and getting a referral, I first spoke with the boss. Then I did a small project to get ready to talk with the team in the next interview. Finally, I had another interview with my boss where they would offer me the job or not. If they offered, there was likely a follow-up to negotiate salary.
