67,312 senior software engineer interview questions shared by candidates

It was all about practical aspects of programming. They didn't ask anything theoretical. Lifecycle of applications in the browser, handling large amount of data in a event-driven environment was the center focus of all of their questions. They also asked lots of questions handling data using services and asked to define strategies to handle and integrate hundreds of APIs in the web application. Some tricky UI/UX related questions were also there. Most questions were like - How would you implement this? What would you do to fix that? When should you not use pipes? etc.

1st round was telephonic. They asked about the simple java concepts like Overloading,Over-ridding, Abstraction, Exception Handling, etc. 2nd round was F2F in their Noida Office. They asked about Collections, Comparators, Multi-threading etc. Interview was simple. 3rd round was simple HR discussion. HR told me that I am already having good salary package so they can't give me my current salary package. He was offering me 1 lakh less than my current CTC. Since I work in Gurgaon so I have to take a half day leave for the F2F interview. My simple advice to HR is please confirm with candidate his expectation 1st, if you can match/give him/her the expected CTC, then only proceed for the interview. Don't waste his/her time as well as yours.
