The interview was supposed to have two rounds. The first round was a video interview where they asked me general questions about Java, AWS, and my experience. The second round was an onsite interview in downtown Boston. I was told there would be three rounds with three different engineers, but one of them didn't show up. The onsite interview focused on AWS, Java, and Maven, with the interviewer asking very specific questions about scenarios.

Confirmed questions1 question
  • How do you handle version conflicts when using Maven?

Technical Coding Behavioral

The entire interview process felt really unprofessional. Instead of the hiring manager and tech lead being present, a junior developer showed up and started asking questions about UI frameworks from the early 2000s. It's baffling how they expect good performance when they don't even know the proper way to conduct an interview. There were no introductions and no real information about the actual work. The tech stack they're using is outdated, and working with it would likely halt your career progress. I definitely wouldn't recommend applying for a tech position here.

It was a single phone interview, pretty relaxed. I didn't get any feedback so I ended up reaching out to the hiring manager myself. I got the offer about a month after the interview. The waiting period was a bit tough, but it was a good experience overall.
