Approached by the company recruiter for a virtual interview arrangement, she asked basic remuneration-related questions such as your expected salary and working arrangement. There were 2 interviews in total, one with the team lead and another one with a manager. The first interview asked questions related to Spring Boot and microservice architecture, while the last interview would test your coding logic. Once I completed the interviews and accepted the offer, the recruiter quickly kicked off the recruiting process with a background assessment carried out by a third-party provider. After the assessment, there was a quick meeting call a week before the commencement date from the HR executive to brief the induction process (e.g., dress code, transportation).

The interview process consisted of a technical screening focused on Java fundamentals, Java 8 Streams, and problem-solving skills. The interviewer expected solutions using streams for real-time scenarios. It was a virtual coding round where questions were discussed interactively. The difficulty level was moderate, with emphasis on clarity, optimization, and use of modern Java features.
