      Staff Software Engineer (Java) Interview

      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Sonar in Aug 2025

      Interview

      I was about halfway through their very long interview process getting great feedback and I knew I aced the first technical interview before I was abruptly told they were no longer hiring for this position. It’s frustrating to invest significant time and energy across so many steps, excel in them, and consistently hear positive feedback, only for the opportunity to disappear for reasons unrelated to performance. 1.

      Interview questions [3]

      Question 1

      Variant of LeetCode 1169. Invalid Transactions and then write a Unit Test to verify the solution. /* Fraud Detection: Find Suspicious Transactions A bank wants to detect fraudulent transactions. A transaction is suspicious if: - The same user makes two transactions within 100 seconds of each other. - A single transaction amount exceeds $10,000. Return a list of users who have made fraudulent transactions. Example Input: transactions = [ { "userId": "Alice", "amount": 5000, "timestamp": 10050 }, { "userId": "Alice", "amount": 2000, "timestamp": 10200 }, { "userId": "Bob", "amount": 12000, "timestamp": 10400 }, { "userId": "Alice", "amount": 6000, "timestamp": 10700 } ] Output: ["Alice", "Bob"] */
