Intercontinental Exchange Software Engineer - Java Developer interview questions

After being contacted by the recruiter, I had two technical interviews. A phone interview with someone from the US asking about Java and SQL. The second technical interview was in person with a developer from the Dublin team and again a phone call with 2 people from US. The in person was basically with random Java questions, very similar to Java certification questions. These types of questions do not prove whether a developer is good or not, it only shows if someone is good at memorizing the theory. And as a developer, I hate this kind of thing, a good developer is more than code theory. I was asked the same questions twice, face to face and then by voice call. I didn't like it and told the interviewer. I understand that the company has to make sure about who its hiring, but I don't agree with that type of interview methodology. Also, the company looks quite similar to my current company, an US financial company based on Dublin that reports everything to the team in US. Basically, the Dublin team has no decision-making autonomy, depending on US approval.

Totally 3 round interviews, basically are technicals, but the last round ask me a lot of questions of behavior things such as how would you re-act to certain situation. Any way, this company has very good reputation and lots of people want to be here, so the interview is not simple at least
