      Entry Level - Spring Boot Microservices and Core Java Interview

      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Cognizant (Charlotte, NC)

      Interview

      Three rounds: the first round was MCQ, using C syntax and functions for a Java role, and behavioral questions. Second was just a 15-minute phone call about proceeding to the next steps and more information. The third round was 16 MCQ on Java, OOP, and SQL. There were no questions on Spring Boot. The interviewers left their cameras off, so did I, until I was asked to turn on my camera while theirs stayed off. We were constantly talking over each other since I had no visual cues to go off of. I asked a question during the coding section, and one of the interviewers did not answer it correctly (I looked it up after the interview was over).

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Why is your face kind of red? What is the difference between JVM and JRE? What are the four pillars of OOP? Liskov Principle String Laziness Digital root of a given integer
