Cake Solutions Software Engineer interview questions

Recently applied for software engineering role. My main objective for applying has been the name cake has build for itself in the distributed systems development using Scala. Interview process was simple and straightforward as you will see in many other companies. At the same time there were certain changes in interview process where it's not all about knowing the technologies but rather evaluating your feedback about the technologies, how good and how bad it can get about the technology. Pair programming session was not just about programming rather it was all about how good can a candidate pick up the technology when someone is there to guide you. At no point the interview process was boring. Overall a good and learning experience.

I got a call for software developer role from Manchester office. I failed in the first round of interview which is telephonic. I feel the questions are in good standard and with deep understanding. Lot of questions related to Scala and Networking (Distributed Systems). Although I am able to answer most of the questions related to Network, but failed to answer some Scala questions.As I was on phone and telephonic call is from Hangout's. The interviewer might have expected some written code from me.But I was unable to do that,No pen and paper and taken this call when standing outside on chilled weather on phone. Anyway, to crack this interview, please be ready with good Scala knowledge about the Pattern matching and differences between java 8 and scala concepts.
