Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Take me through your experience as a Java developer
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at BBD (Johannesburg) in Oct 2017
Interview
I was contacted by a lady from BBD and the first round was a Hackerrank test with mostly easy and straightforward questions. The test is long though, you will have to spend about 2.5hrs on it. After the test, I got an interview invite at one of their clients offices, Standard Bank, in Johannesburg CBD. I found this to be quite odd. The interview was done in a cafe which was rather noisy as it was lunch time. I found this to be a horrible experience. I think the idea was to have a casual chat about my experience, but I was not at ease because of the venue. The interview was more of them trying to understand my previous experience and technologies I like. 2 days later, I got an email saying they wouldn't be making an offer as they had found better candidates and that they wouldn't be providing feedback as they had been interviewing a lot of candidates.
