So, they initially picked me for a Java Developer position. But then the interview shifted focus, and they started grilling me on OS topics like synchronization, deadlock, and inter-process communication. After that, they threw in some C and C++ questions, mainly around memory allocation. Finally, they wrapped up with a few Java-specific questions, such as why it's platform independent and what JRE and JVM are, along with method overloading and overriding.
Confirmed questions2 questions

This was a hectic and frankly the worst interview process I've ever experienced. The leadership was rude, and I felt like it was just a waste of the interviewer's time. The leaders here don't seem to trust the interviews done by others and won't understand your expertise.
Confirmed questions2 questions
- The leadership asked very illogical questions in the final round.
- The questions asked were not even relevant to my field of work.
