I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Barclays (Pune) in Jul 2017
Interview
Total process took 1.5 months. 3 Technical rounds, 1 Barclays values round. No HR round. My technical rounds took 2 visits to Hinjewadi and 1 phone call, if you have good knowledge and are honest with your answers you shouldn't have any problems here. There was no hr round.
Interview questions [5]
Question 1
C++ /java concepts, basic stuff like Linked list implementation, binary tree, standard template libraries
I have given interview for Java engineer - Flink Role. and the first round was a hackerearth test - where they asked about Quality, flink related, one design questions and one AI question, and no DSA . I was selected and been moved to second round which was a technical discussion with one of the architects I believe, - I was rejected - Again No DSA asked, Though questions were mostly related to my contributions to projects, they asked basic questions on spring boot, SOLID principles and indepth of Kafka and Flink. Here they mostly expects an engineer where they need indepth knowledge of kafka and flink.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
One thing about flink and kafka is about the depth of these concepts, how flink stores the checkpoints, which storage it actually goes, how do we debug if an issue occurs in checkpoint.
In kafka - they asked how messages are stored and how do we see those messages from the backend. what is the storage device these messages get stored.
it was very positive and supportive, they asked questions about basic java + spring technologies and two rounds of technical interview with sensible task not like leet code stuff. they asked to filter brackets inside string
Asked me to come for face to face interview.
When I went saw 100 to 150 people for the interview.
Got number for interview in the evening 6 PM. When asked they said only 2 pannel is available to take interview. If you have not enough people to take interview then why you wasting candidates time.
