I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Broker Consulting (Prague) in Sept 2025
Interview
The interview process began with an informal, casual chat about my current role and the technologies I'm working with. This part also covered general questions about my past projects, my motivation for changing jobs, and my interest in their company.
Following this overview, the technical part of the interview was conducted in a 'rapid-fire' style. They asked many quick, direct questions across a wide range of topics, aiming to cover more ground rather than going into deep detail on any specific subject.

Question 1

How does Spring manage transactions behind the scenes? How would you manage it manually? (Follow-up: Using EntityManager with a try-catch block for commit/rollback)

Interview
Very friendly and informal interview with the SW architect and CTO. We discussed my past experience and I was quizzed on Java, Spring, databases, and microservice architecture. I think they are particularly focused on databases, JPA and transaction management.
