Interview
I had interviewed through a staffing agency. I had 3 rounds with the team.
First round: It was one hour technical discussion I was asked a lot of questions around Java 8 (like lambdas, functional interfaces etc.)
I passed the first round and then was scheduled for the second round of interview which they initially said it would be the final round. In this it was again a technical round started off with a simple leetcode question and then a database design and query question and then they asked me some technical design questions.
Then after this round they decided to take an other round as they liked other candidates as well. This was again a coding discussion and was given a amedium leetcode question
