The interview process was straightforward. Everyone was helpful including the recruiter who was active in reverting back. The first round consisted of talking to Hiring Manager who asked quite a few conceptual questions like: regression tests, projects worked on in the past, drilled down a bit more on resume projects and their concepts. The second round was surprisingly the final round. There were 2 engineers: one principal and another lead engineer who again drilled down on resume projects and many fundamental concepts. Front end questions included: HTTP, Cross site scripting, a coding question (possible ways to climb stairs), and angular lifecycle hook components. Backend questions like Rest API, use of microservices, how important is regression/unit tests, multithreading in Java etc. Eventually everything went well and I got the offer. Since the pay was bit lower for the role I got, I decided to decline the offer. Would definitely opt for a higher role in the future for more salary.
