The interview process was tiresome but the questions were comparatively easier than expected . The interview questions can be googled and were mostly direct questions . The questions were mainly related to java 8 and its core features.
Nice interview process it took nearly one day to complete the interview process. Interview was average if you have strong resume you can crack the interview. Practise all basic programs.
The worst interview process I've ever had. HR is in India and they don't answer your email or your questions, they just schedule interviews and that's it. No idea when you'll be contacted or with whom you are going to interview with.
Two interviews, the first with the team lead and two employees, which lasted for about 1h and was a tornado of technical questions. No time for me to ask questions, no informations about when I'll be receiving feedback or anything.
4 weeks later I got the 2nd interview with the client. 30 min, again a very impersonal tornado of technical questions, no personal questions, nor the possibility to ask anything. No fit assessment, nothing. I just had the impression they wanted to fill the gap as 'quickly' as possible.
Never heard of them ever since.
Stay away :).
