It was a two timing Interview with rapid fire questions in the 1st round and somewhat explanatory questions in the 2nd one. 1st round mainly contains the theoretical questions related to java and 2nd round consists of questions on java as well as spring.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
how to write lambda expressions and what are the major changes in java-8 w.r.t previous versions.
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at HCLTech (Neu-Delhi) in Mar 2021
Interview
I applied through job portal and I was interviewed on a weekend. I went as far as the second round. The first round was telephonic interview where I was drilled in Java. Questions were from Collections, Interfaces, Java 8 features (functional interface and lambda expression). I cleared the first round and 10 mins later got the call for second round. In the second round they asked me iterate map via lambda expression. It was easy but I made a mistake. I wrote a singleton code and then he asked to be prevent it from creating cloned objects which I did. That was all but then I never heard back. I assume not able to iterate a map was the reason.
Anyways I hope this helps. Good luck 🙂
