Interview
I was offered an interview but I never confirmed to arrange it. Why? Because the recruiter who reached out to me was very persistent and inconsiderate of my time and also very unprofessional. How, you ask? Well they were emailing me while simultaneously messaging on LinkedIn. Like.. bro pick a platform please. They would also constantly ask abt my availability to call when I had already answered that in my e-mail. Then they abruptly called me, and asked if I had 5 minutes to spare. I was like ugh ok I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, and for those entire 5 minutes, they were just asking me questions I had already answered in a prior e-mail. (Did they even read my e-mails?????) Then they wanted to schedule an interview on a Saturday, which coincidentally I already had plans for the weekend so I said I could not interview that day. They proceed to tell me that it's the only day they are interviewing for this specific location. I was firm and said I couldn't. And they kept asking me "are you sure?" rollin my eyes.. it was so annoying. I had already made it clear I couldn't! At that point I came to the conclusion that it wasn't worth wasting my time interviewing with this company if the recruiter was acting Like That! Even if I could land a job with them, I felt in my gut it wasn't right. So I just ghosted them completely after that :D Not to mention, a quick reddit search will quickly let you know to not work for this company!! Especially when you're fresh out of college.
Went through 3 rounds, one recruiter screen, one technical lead, and one managerial round. First round, the recruiter was late by 23 minutes. Second round, the technical lead was on time but took 15 minutes to set up the questions. The second round was more theoretical, as the questions were based on how you approach issues and how you think. I was also asked technical coding questions at the end. In the third round, the team manager was rude and tactless, cut me off multiple times, and didn't allow me to explain my thought process in response to his questions.

Interview
recruiter calls for an initial phone screen, a technical Interview with a manager, a final call with a leader, or gets an email with an offer. Knowing the basics of Java, SQL, and DB Concepts is enough.
It was good the interviewer was providing sufficient time to answer the questions. The interviewer asked basic questions on data structures, SQL, Python programming also some on the projects I had done before
