Senior java engineer Interview Questions

1- What was the problem you had so solve in the pair programming exercise? 2- How did you solve the logic question finding the bigger number out of the two using the previous functions?

I had not reached the pair programming stage. I could not complete the logic test. For finding Bigger number the code will already be written they would leave spaces for variables and functions, so you will have to use the subtract and add functions to find the biggest number.

I wasn't expecting this since it was not mentioned as a requirement.

I have cleared all rounds of technical interview (4 rounds) and gave last two interviews with CIO and HR. However HR / CIO found me that I might not be suitable for client facing and hence kept my profile on hold until they could interview someone else and find someone who can replace me. Eventually I was not offered the role even after clearing all technical rounds that lasted for weeks.

Answer some IT / Java related!! Even it is not true. That's what they want to hear.

I used the question as an opportunity to walk through what I had implemented and how it worked. I gave a critical analysis of my own work and suggested how it could be improved.

Essential Java, Javascript the good bits.

I used TDD approach and used simple design patterns to implement it.
