      Java Developer Interview

      Oct 17, 2012
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Staples

      Interview

      Phone interview, then Onsite interview. Called 3 times for technical interview. 2 Managers and 1 Architects. Phone Not very difficult and aligned to my career aspects. They asked me to come over and have onsite interview. There were many people interviewed. Not all technically challenging. Most of the questions are related to team spirits and learning new things. I had a feeling that there is not much I can learn from being an employer, because they are working around a Product. Also they clearly told that I have no ESB or design related opportunities but just developing "failed" Eclipse rich client applications. The last manager I spoke to seemingly very interested to take me into the project. Very slow in taking actions

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Architect asking performance review type questions. It was a disappointment to fly long way and then not a single difficult question. Only one person asked a little bit confusing question, and he said my answer is what he is expecting. It looked like other people were trying to learn from me, than testing me.
