The interview process wasn't super clear. I didn't know what to expect since they didn't tell me the format. After the third step, which was a 60 min call with the Hiring Manager and Director, I didn't hear anything back for about 5-6 business days. I emailed HR, but they never replied. It was really unprofessional and they lacked transparency. Also, the interviewers didn't even turn their webcams on during the last call.

Confirmed questions2 questions
  • Can you tell me about projects you've worked on before?
  • Would you be open to learning new skills?

Behavioral Technical Coding

I had a phone chat with HR about my past jobs, the tech I used, and what I wanted for salary. Then, a call with the hiring manager about my experience and the tech stack. The last part was onsite with two people. They asked me Java and database stuff like interfaces, generics, and database indexing. I also did a whiteboard coding problem, the classic buzz fizz. They said HR would let me know in 3-4 business days, but I haven't heard anything. The place seemed disorganized, and the tech they're using feels a bit outdated.

Confirmed questions4 questions
  • Can you explain what an interface is?
  • What do you understand by generics?
  • Could you describe how database indexing functions?

Technical Coding

The process began with a review of my resume, followed by a discussion about the company and its operations. We covered one SQL question and one algorithm question. There was also a talk about my previous projects and the technologies utilized within the company. The interviewers were pleasant and professional, indicating they knew their stuff. The overall conversation felt relaxed, and they seemed like easygoing individuals to work with.

Confirmed questions2 questions
  • Can you write a SQL query to retrieve all bills for a specific biller, given the relevant tables?
  • How would you simplify an array of number ranges, such as merging [1,5] and [3,7] into [1,7]?
