I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at CA Technologies (Bengaluru)
Interview
Had a Initial telephonic screen.
A busy guy called feeling confused what to ask somebody named akash.
You tell me what to ask you haven't listed anything in ur resume xml,jsp,jdbc nothing.
U tell me what to ask.
I told normally you ask data structure and algo questions.
then he bombarded essentially worthless questions one can ask in any interview
whats the difference between map and list.
diff between collection and list.
diff between error and exception.
diff between mergesort and bubblesort.
He randomly started talking to some other person amidst the interview. I cannot access this db and i am in a interview.
Overall a ultra-negative experience and if you hail from a reputed college Please avoid applying atleast in india.
Screening/Interview was rather unorganized, but after the initial discussion it took some direction.
Despite the weird format at the beginning, the interviewer was professional and senior, so we had interesting technical discussion
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
general discussion about mathematics, computer science etc.
4 rounds of interview = 3 technical interview and one managerial interview with VP
1. Basic java
2. Programming , OOPs ,Design
3. Databases
4. Manager + VP
Had two people in a coupe of rounds. It was in person
A phone interview with HR and for the on site 3 separate interviews; one with the managers and two other interviews for the technical questions. During the interview, some people on the panel were very rude and their behavior was completely unethical in a way I wanted to leave the interview!! Sometimes the interview itself reveals the company culture easily and I was lucky enough to notice that before it was too late.
