      Java Software Engineer Interview

      May 7, 2023
      Anonymous employee
      Makati City
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Macquarie Group (Makati City) in Apr 2023

      Interview

      I applied last March on their website. The hiring process took over a month, so if you are patient enough don't hesitate to ask for the application updates. Initial interview: During the initial phone call interview with HR, they are very meticulous in their approach to gathering information about an applicant's career history (e.g. what are the technologies you used during your work, years of experience with the technologies you used, and rate them; explain why there are gaps in employment if there's such). If you are a good shot, they will make sure to let you know that you passed the initial interview and informs you that the next round, which is the technical interview, consists of live coding so they will tell you to get prepared as much as possible. It's my first time experiencing an interview with the HR being lively and very helpful. When you want to say something but you don't have the right words to say on the spot, they will comprehend and continue what you want to say. Technical interview: There are three interviewers, and one has a noisy office background I really need to focus 200% on what is he saying because the background voices from the office are overlapping with his voice (interviewers, please use noise-canceling headphones next time). They interviewed me about my past working experiences, and how did I apply object-oriented programming to the projects I worked on. They also asked me some questions about REST and SOAP, and CI/CD. Aside from that, they also asked me situational developer questions. In addition, they let me code in Hackerrank with their prepared problems in Java and SQL. Is it hard? Maybe, because it is timed, and during the coding session you won't have the time to fully optimize the code unless you know all the syntax in Java which will make your coding easier. So please practice a lot in Hackerrank, and do your best to explain what you want to do when having the live coding exam. The hiring managers are helpful, they will give an idea of some syntax if you really don't know it. Psychometric Assessment: I am informed that I passed the technical interview, and they gave me a link for the assessment. This is the part that made me question my existence and whether I could really pass it or not since the Math test is really hard (I am a more visual person than a math person 😂). There are practice exams though, so make sure to utilize it. After taking the assessment, the HR who handled my application process was changed which is a bit weird because they asked me again about the technologies I used during my work experience (it's like having an initial interview again). Thankfully, they did not ghost me. They informed me that I passed the hiring process (yes, I didn't experience having a final interview). They gave me a job offer and accepted it.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Explain the following: 1. OOP 2. Difference between REST/SOAP 3. HTTP methods Situational developer questions Please don't only rely on the interview questions above, those are some of what I experienced during the technical interview. Do your best to practice web technology terms and how you can apply them/how did you apply them during your professional experience.
