Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite un'agenzia di reclutamento personale. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso SAS (Poona) nel mese di nov 2019
Colloquio
It was a scheduled drive on saturday. Some 15-20 candidates were there. First, there was an machine test comprising some MCQ questions on Java, Spring, JDBC . There were two simple programming questions out of which we have to attempt only one.
It was an elimination round.
After the written, I was asked for a F2F interview. Simple questions related to OOPs,Collections, Spring, JDBC, JVM, MultiThreading, basic programming skills were asked.
After 1 week , I was asked for the second round of interview. It was also a technical round.
It was one of the most pathetic interview experience that i ever had. Stupid theoretical questions that requires you to be great at memorizing theory were asked like what you see after eclipse opens , if you don't have java installed will eclipse open or not etc.
If you start using some other IDE after a month or so what is the need of this knowledge.
I think the interview should test the candidate more on hi coding and design skills rather than asking questions that a 10th standard kid can answer if he memorizes them.
Only questions related to REST were good but some of them were also memory based.
I was expecting more of conceptual ,coding or design based questions. I am not concerned that I am not selected for further round but the quality of interview really pissed me off.
Domande di colloquio [1]
Domanda 1
Write a program to reverse a string ?
Diff between comparator and comparable ?
Diff between abstract class and interface ?
Overriding hashcode and equals method
Internal implementation of hashmap
Stack memory area of JVM
Basic Multithreading
What is sorted set and tree set ?
What is hashtable ?
HR Screening -> One on one cultural interview -> 3 hour final round panel with 9 different people.
Final round is mostly STAR questions, then ends in doing a small coding challenge with no IDE help. I completed the challenge and then spent the rest of the time talking with the team.
I felt the interview went well, but I apparently said something wrong at some point as everyone got very quiet in the panel. I was rejected a couple of days later.
