I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Artezio (Saratov, Saratovskaya Oblast') in Aug 2011
Interview
Single interview. Standard questions about enterprise applications. Interviewers are very concerned about how well you know specific tools (e.g. Spring / Hibernate) rather than how well you know fundamentals (concurrency, distributed computing, etc.) and approaches (cloud computing, CI/CD, etc.). I had a good discussion about Object-Oriented Programming and SQL.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Explain what "Bridge" OOP pattern is necessary for and give examples. I like calling patterns by name, but didn't use Bridge that much. Fortunately interviewers agreed to give a task where this pattern may be applied and I was able to figure it out. After that I recalled similar experience and explained how I was using this and related patterns in my code.
