Interview
Got a message on linkdin recruiter requesting me if i am interested in a position to be considered. I replied yes. Then he sent me two questions to give solutions to. Solutions were complex enough as he also asked to write test cases and consider the assumptions he specified. I took my time around 6 hrs and gave him the solutions in really peak times. He wanted the solutions at earliest. After this, i got email from them saying, would like to schedule a call interview. (Apparently, solutions were satisfying). Then he asked me to apply officially to their posting and sent me the link. I spent another 30 mins filling up all details. And, morning i got email saying, i am not considered for the position because of my qualifications. (I have grad degree and not only undergrad in IT).
If i am not qualified on the first hand, why the hell you asked me to spend 6-7 hrs of my time solving your problems?
Advise to H1 folks: if employer doesn't ask if you need sponsorship, better you ask them before spending any time giving the assessments.

Interview
I interviewed for a Java Backend Developer position in October 2025. The process consisted of a single, very technical round focused heavily on algorithms, Java coding, and backend security concepts. The interviewer asked me to implement programs using collections and common algorithms, then explain performance and how to harden the code with proper validation and security best practices. The difficulty was high, and they clearly expect very strong hands‑on experience with Java and secure backend design. The interviewer was professional and direct, but the pace was fast, so you need to be comfortable thinking aloud while coding. I was not selected, but the experience gave me a clear idea of their expectations and helped me understand how seriously they treat technical depth and security.
