Some of the questions focused on Hibernate, including the N+1 problem, while others delved into advanced Java concepts such as the double locking singleton pattern., java 8 features Additionally, there were questions related to the Spring framework, such as LazyInitializationException and bean-definition overriding etc.

The assessment required a solid understanding of these concepts and their practical applications.

Round-2: Technical Interview

After successfully passing the technical assessment, I progressed to the second round, which was a technical interview. This round provided an opportunity for the interviewer to delve deeper into my technical expertise and problem-solving abilities.

The interviewers posed a coding question that involved generating permutations of a given string. This question tested my algorithmic thinking and ability to write efficient code. Additionally, there were questions related to Java 8 features, Spring Boot, scopes of beans, and mappings in the Spring framework, Hibernate related questions and SQL queries.

The final round of the interview process was the managerial round, where I had the opportunity to interact with a manager from the technical team. This round focused on evaluating my overall fit within the organization, my ability to work in a team, and my future aspirations.

During this round, I engaged in discussions about my previous experiences, technical challenges faced during projects, and how I managed them. The manager also inquired about my familiarity with different technologies and frameworks relevant to the role.
