Wanted weeks of work for a tech test. Ended up pulling out. Not building an entire app for free for any company. Total lack of respect for candidate's time. No surprise to find out they've sacked the remote workers they hired during the pandemic either.

Interview
Spoke with the Manager, Architect and one of their senior engineers, they got me through the code and asked me about reactive and completable futures. Also had some calls with HR before hand.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Oracle (Brno) in Jul 2024
Interview
Multiple rounds of 1 hr online coding interviews with emphasis on time complexity and data structures
I code mainly in C++ and while it's allowed some interviewers had a difficult time catching up had more explaining to do. Ideally be prepared to do it in Java as that is the main language the company uses and some questions are strictly Java related.
Total number of rounds was 4 but I refused the last one. Overall very time consuming process.
