Interview Details
The initial round was a telephonic round. the interview lasted for more than an hour in which I was grilled about Java, Unix and SQL. The interviewer was very knowledgeable fellow, the questions were pretty tough and at one time it seemed as if they were hiring me to build a rocket for NASA in Java.
It was followed by two written tests , A Video Conference and a one to one with a project manager all in the same day.
The telephonic and the other interviews were about 10 days apart.
Good experience over all.
Interview Questions
-
1.Build an implementation of a hashmap without using collections.
2. Implement a least recently used Cache, write a code snippet for it. View Answer - RBS is losing money, you work for a good organization. Why do you want to join us ? View Answer
Negotiation Details – Yes, I was able to negotiate as I had other offers in hand as well. The HR guys do not budge easily untill you are really special or the project requires you badly. The negotiation would not fetch you a very huge amount of money, the revised offer would be close to what you were offered previously.
