      Senior Java Developer Interview

      5 Dec 2017
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Freenow by Lyft in Nov 2017

      Interview

      They contacted me through StackOverflow. There is a very short interview that is very vague that takes about 30 minutes and they mainly tell you that you would have to do a test at home which they say takes about 2-3 hours but takes way too much time than that. They provided an answer a week after and provided feedback, but I had to ask for it and was not very satisfactory. Anyway, their feedback showed me that they expect you to do a near real-life job exercise on your own time. Thank you for not taken me in, because I prefer to do my own stuff on my free time.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Then there is a very long long test that consist of 4 tasks: ## Task 1 * Write a new Controller. * Decide on your own how the methods should look like. * Add new Entities and ## Task 2 First come first serve: One Entity can be selected by exactly one other Entity with some condition. If this condition is not met you should throw an Exception. ## Task 3 Make use of the filter pattern to implement an endpoint in a Controller to get a list Entities with specific characteristics. Reuse the characteristics you implemented in task 1. ## Task 4 Security: secure the API. It's up to you how you are going to implement the security. The guidelines were as follow: * All new entities should have an ID with type of Long and a date_created with type of ZonedDateTime. * The architecture of the web service is built with the following components: * DataTransferObjects: Objects which are used for outside communication via the API * Controller: Implements the processing logic of the web service, parsing of parameters and validation of in- and outputs. * Service: Implements the business logic and handles the access to the DataAccessObjects. * DataAccessObjects: Interface for the database. Inserts, updates, deletes and reads objects from the database. * DomainObjects: Functional Objects which might be persisted in the database. * TestDrivenDevelopment is a good choice, but it's up to you how you are testing your code. The tell you that you have about a week to solve it, but you wouldn't need longer than 2-3 hours.

      Interview

      There are 4 rounds total for the interview 1) Interview with the Product owner 2)Solving Home -assignment(7 days of work) 3) Review and discussion (Technical discussion on Assignment and technical questions) 4)HR round Cons: Even after clearing all the rounds they suggest you a salary less than your current salary .(for instance if your current salary is 70k they will come with an offer of 63k after clearing all the rounds). Its sure a waste of time After clearing all the rounds The HR will come up with something like, you are in upper intermediate level and we cant pay you. Dont recommended to waste your time.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Freenow by Lyft in Jul 2018

      Interview

      I applied online threw their careers portal, an HR agent contacted me after 2 days to schedule an Skype introductory interview with an IT recruiter. The video interview was about 30 minutes, mainly involved sharing my experience and previous work and 1 or 2 easy technical questions, then we had a discussion about the role. The next step was a take home test which, as the they describe, may take 2 hours, and that is not very true, but they gave me a week to finish. I finished the test 1 day before the due date and submitted it to them and I receive immediately a response thanking me for submitting the result and they will come back to me within 2 week. What actually happened that the sent me a thank you and you are rejected email the next working day. They even refused to specify any reason for rejecting me, the HR really said that `we cannot give out any more information regarding your results due to legal restrictions as well as capacity reasons`, and asked me to understand their situation. I hope they improve this disappointing process and to respect candidates more as they put hours of hard work to finish tests. They I deserve to know what is wrong and why they're not selected. Otherwise it's a wasted time for each other time.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through other source. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Freenow by Lyft (Hamburg) in Nov 2017

      Interview

      First HR recruiter called for a telephonic discussion and was eager to sign you up for a programming assignment. They sent me over a programming assignment - a web service in Spring Boot which recruiter said is a 2 -3 hour task but in fact nobody can complete that in that time frame . It would take a minimum of 2 hours for 4 - 5 days and they gave around a week's time to submit it. They had given four tasks there. When I submitted , they sent an email thanking for submission and after few hours they sent another email saying thanks for applying and rejection. They should basically improve their process and tell applicants a bit about reason of rejection since candidates usually have to put few days of hard work to submit that assignment. I am from India and opening was for Hamburg, Germany and HR had said about visa etc but I am not sure if they are simply fishing in market and getting projects from various candidates for their developers :) I had really submitted the assignment with pretty good standard because that is what I do day in day out.
