I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Macquarie Group in Apr 2025
Interview
The first round was a phone screen with a recruiter. The second round was an interview with the lead and senior manager, which included basic live coding and questions about my resume, with a focus on Java, Spring Boot MVC, and Spring Boot API. After that, I was given a psychometric test. The final round was an interview with a Director, focusing on teamwork, cultural fit, and alignment with the company's core values. I felt I have done well after each round but I’m not sure why I was not selected.
