Technical Behavioral
The interview had two rounds. The first technical round went well, but the second round was surprisingly short, only about 10 minutes. The interviewer asked four questions, and I managed to answer two. Most of the questions were subjective, like asking about the preference between Hibernate/JPA or REST/SOAP, and it felt like you had to guess the interviewer's exact thoughts. I asked about the work culture, and the response was dismissive, 'what do you mean by work culture, don't you know how it works, it is similar to that'. When I asked for clarification on one of the questions I couldn't answer, the reply was 'Go, and Google it'. I hope that was just a one-off instance, but the overall interview process was fine.
