I applied online. I interviewed at Avanade in Dec 2017
Interview
Received the call the next day after the application was done through LinkedIn (redirected to Proofpoint Careers webpage for that position). I had applied for 2 positions - Big Data Engineer and Cloud applications. The HR sent a mail once for the 1st position and later on 2nd. On the call she said it is a Senior Software engineer position.
The technical round started with Questions on Blocking Queue, Multithreading, synchronization, synchronized keyword, LinkedList and Queues - easy to medium questions. He asked me about queue functioning and to write a code on Blocking Queue on Collabedit online. He started with the skeleton and asked to me to complete the rest of the code while simultaneously asking why am I using specific keywords and the logic. It was an interactive session.
I got a reject since I didn't prepare well and struggled with keywords and explanation. Using Collaedit is easy.
