Interview
Technical interview - 1st round
Asked me to explain every bullet point from my resume along with how I used all the technologies mentioned. Further questions were from DevOps, Docker, Kubernetes, Spring, 3-4 code debug questions, JVM, GC.
The irritating thing was that the interviewer was writing every word to word that I was answering. I had to repeat every answer multiple times to get him to write it.
Was scheduled for 60min but went on for over 90+min.
