Conducted by FloCareers. Asked a lot of system design questions. 1. How wil you make your service scalable and maintainable 2. Java principles to write clean and scalable code. 3. How to design a meeting to meet all requirements
there were three interviewers, they were very thorough, asked about Java base concepts and had a sample question to work through with the interviewers. I had no issue with the baseline Java questions but the last prompt confused me. The interviewers also made it a point to not contribute.
