Technical Coding
The interview was focused on Java and SQL. They had me look at some Java code and asked how I would change it. Some interviewers seemed like they weren't ready. Then we went over SQL, and they asked pretty simple questions about unions, likes, and other basic stuff.

The interview was about 45 minutes long. It began with me introducing myself, and then they asked me questions about full-stack development. The role I was interviewing for needed someone with Angular.js and Spring Boot experience. Since I didn't know Angular, the questions focused on Spring Boot and back-end stuff.

Coding Technical
It was an attitude test and coding design test on paper. I've interviewed with big companies before, but this was one of the worst. The interviewer really tried to put me down and would laugh if I didn't know an answer. Super unprofessional, I don't want to work there.
