Technical Coding Behavioral

The first round went fine, but the second round was with the director. He asked me a puzzle and a coding question. I started writing code, but he asked me to try a different approach. I tried another approach, and he still asked for yet another one. Then he inquired about my contributions to my current work, and that was it. I'm unsure what to make of this interview, as no technical questions were posed.

Technical Coding Presentation

The interview process was pretty decent, focusing on coding and aptitude. It involved technical rounds followed by an HR round. Sapient was hiring for a Java Developer/Microservice role. They even provided pick-up and drop-off service, which was a nice touch. Round 1 was a Telephonic Round with MCQs from the HR on Core Java. Round 2 was a Case Study Round where we were given a problem statement and had to build a microservice API using our tech stack within 120 minutes, with the option to ask for more time. We also had to write JUnit test cases. No internet was allowed, and we had to use the Eclipse IDE. This round wasn't an elimination round. Round 3 was an F2F technical discussion.

Confirmed questions8 questions
  • Can you introduce yourself?
  • Could you tell me about the technologies you've used and your reasons for using them?
  • Tell me about your current project.
