First round interview went well with questions related to Java 8 and 17 features, Spring boot, hibernate, microservices and an architecture diagram from my recent experience. Second round interview was with the director. Director was very knowledgeable but the communication was very condescending. Often no feedback for the answers - causing confusion if I answered correct or wrong. Deep dive into Java - which I appreciated. The design questions were vague, broad and often received an unclear explanation for the questions I asked. The interviewer probably had a particular approach to design a system and was not familiar with what I wanted to convey(his comment - something does not add up when I answered a question - instead of explaining what he was expecting). I hope he is a little more compassionate to people who are interviewing(regardless of candidate's skill). Though I received a rejection, I'm glad I'm not reporting to him. I have interviewed with many companies - provided with embarrassing answers and poor performance in the interview but never felt low and the interviewers were kind. I hope this second round experience was one of a kind and I will be able to forget about it soon.

I was asked Self Introduction, Java basics, design patterns, Spring Boot technical questions, and projects in resume, and some computer science basics. The whole interview lasts for 30min. Two interviewers
