Capgemini Sr. Software Engineer interview questions

First things first, if you have to take telephonic interview, then what is the point of calling the candidate to your office. Then the interviewer, to start with his intro to me ,was so proud that he was working for 6 years in Capgemini(Brownie points for loyalty). Then he was a proud java certified developer. Awesome. Then interview started and he got stuck in String comparison. He did not move ahead the term Stringpool, one of the very basic concepts of Java. He didn't understand what I was trying to tell him. And interview over with a comment that I don't even know the basics. Add to the insult of Java, he was sitting in Netherlands. Please, take the interview of the interview panel before putting them in that panel. They do nothing more than wasting everybody's time.

It was a two days process with three rounds, on day one their was a written test consisting of aptitude, verbal reasoning(and other similar stuff). the shortlisted candidates are called for a typing speed test which was followed by a telephonic round in which we have to repeat the sentence that the machine was speaking(accent used by machine was neither British nor american). On the second day company gives the presentation and the result of second round was announced , all the the shortlisted students were then called for interview. There was only one interviewer in my panel . Interviewers generally asking from SQL and database management. I don't know SQL but still able to make up by answering all the questions correctly.
