Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The initial interview was mostly behavioral, but included some questions about my Java experience: what projects I had worked on, and what made me an excellent programmer. I didn't prepare very well and stumbled particularly on the last question, giving very general and vague answers. I was not invited to continue in the interviewing process.
Multi round with technical round more so a background knowledge test on the tech stack the team uses. no coding problems. 3 interviewers in technical round, quite nice and welcoming.
