Interview questions [1]
Question 1
First round interview: Simple array manipulation and DFS.
Second round interviews are more of discussion on different technologies from the experiences written in the CV. So, I would recommend anyone to know your CV. All the questions are open-ended. Some of the questions are like how hashmap works in java, what is JVM and it's internal, how to implement authentication and authorization process and some basic design questions.
