      Software Developer Interview

      Jul 27, 2016
      Anonymous employee
      Bengaluru
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at IBM (Bengaluru) in Jan 2016

      Interview

      Interview questions were totally based on my past work experiences. Whatever I was telling him, he was digging very deep into every answer of mine. He went very deep until I stopped due to the limitation of my knowledge. I applied for Software Developer Java/J2EE, so I got most of the questions from my technical domain only. Some questions are like, 1. What is Spring's DI? What are the ways to achieve that? 2. How Spring Data works ? 3. How did you implemented Real-time message service?. 4. What is event loop in Javascript ? 5. What is Client service architecture? What is data only wiring ? 6. How would you like to optimize a slow SQL Query? 7. How to optimise page loading? 8. What is HATEOAS ? 9. Describe some rest verbs. 10. Give some example of HQL. Some non technical questions were asked in the HR round were like, 1. Are you willing to relocate ? 2. Why are you willing to switch your current job? 3. Are you self motivated? Then at last the best part was asked i.e. the salary expectations. I asked them in a range and they agreed to give me the upper bound of the range. I accepted the offer.
