This is not to underplay the importance of a solid background in computer science. Somethings to look for:  \n• Understanding of basic algorithmic concepts  \n• Discuss basic algorithms, how would they find/think/sort  \n• Can they show a wider understanding of databases  \n• Do they have an approach to modelling?  \nDo they stay up to date with the latest developments? If so, how? Probe for their favourite technical books. Who are they following on Twitter, which blogs do they turn to?  \nAre they active on Github? Do they contribute to any open source software projects? Or take part in Hackathons. In short, how strong is their intellectual interest in their chosen field? How is this demonstrated? Ask for side projects (like game development) . Committed, inquisitive candidates will stand out.  \nComputing Science Questions  \n How do you know if a linked list has a cycle in it? As in, one of the nodes in the linked list points to a previous node in the list.  \n How is preemptive threading model different from the cooperative threading model?  \n What tools & practices would you consider necessary for a Continuous Delivery solution?  \nRole Specific Questions  \n Is Java a statically or dynamically typed language?  \n Do arguments in Java get passed by reference or by value?  \n What is the difference between an abstract class and an interface and when would you use one over the other?  \n What is a factory pattern and how would you implement the Singleton pattern?  \n What is the difference between “==” and equals(…) method? What is the difference between shallow comparison and deep comparison of objects?  \n How is Java SE related to Java EE?  \nTry Workable for free, for [15 days:](15 days: www.workable.com)[ ](15 days: www.workable.com)[www.workable.com](15 days: www.workable.com), no downloads or credit card required  \n How are Runtime exceptions different from Checked exceptions?  \n What are the most important features introduced in Java 5, 7 and 8 respectively?  \n Choose a Java EE platform API and give a short description of it.  \n In a 3-tier application running a Java application server you notice freezes for several seconds during high load. What are the most likely reasons? How would you troubleshoot them?  \n Servlets 3.0 introduced async support. Describe a use case for it.  \n Why do you think lambda expressions are considered such a big thing for Java 8?  \n Is this possible in Java?  \nA extends B, C  \nTry Workable for free, for [15 days:](15 days: www.workable.com)[ ](15 days: www.workable.com)[www.workable.com](15 days: www.workable.com), no downloads or credit card required","cbCaijFu8l2nuZrd","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijFu8l2nuZrd","pdf",300146,"English","# Computing Science Questions\n## Linked list cycles and threading models\n## Continuous Delivery tooling and practices\n# Role Specific Questions\n## Java fundamentals and OOP design\n## Equality, exceptions, and Java platform APIs\n## Performance troubleshooting and modern Java features","[{\"question\":\"What candidate qualities besides pure technical skill does this interview profile emphasize?\",\"answer\":\"It emphasizes willingness to learn, qualified skills, passion for the job, and demonstrated intellectual interest through activities like side projects, following tech resources, GitHub activity, open source contributions, and hackathons.\"},{\"question\":\"Which Java and programming concepts are covered in the role-specific questions?\",\"answer\":\"Topics include static vs dynamic typing in Java, passing arguments by value vs reference, abstract classes vs interfaces, factory and singleton patterns, equality using == versus equals, shallow vs deep comparisons, and Java SE vs Java EE relationships.\"},{\"question\":\"What advanced Java areas and troubleshooting themes are included?\",\"answer\":\"It covers Java threading and exception types (runtime vs checked), features introduced in Java 5/7/8, choosing a Java EE platform API, diagnosing freezes in a 3-tier application under high load, async support in Servlets 3.0, and why lambda expressions are significant for Java 8.\"}]","Java Software Engineer Interview Questions | PDF",1790352146]
