It is a disappointing interview process. The HR send me a link informing me that to prepare well and wearing formal for the interview, i.e. treat it like a formal office interview. On the interview day, one of the interviewers forgot about the interview. The interviewers are wearing casual on their end. They specifically look for Java skills only. It seems that the HR team and hiring managers did not communicate well in the selection process.
I joined for a junior role and the interview process was very straightforward. First step was filling some online forms about general fit. Then a technical interview over Teams - no live coding was involved, only questions about my past experience, the technologies I worked with and how I would solve problem xyz. After that it's straight to manager interview and decision.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Give a detailed overview of how you would design a pipeline for streaming large amounts of data and reduce the risk of throttling or failure.
Group interview with 2 other people. They give us a problem, allow us 15 minutes of prep time, then each will sequentially get access to a keyboard to code for 10 minutes. After the code, each person is asked about what went well and what could be better
Made it to 3rd round.

Didnt make it past the mob programming session, (mob programming includes a group coding session where you and two other candidates work together to solve a problem)
