      Senior Java Developer Interview

      25 Sept 2024
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Davy

      Interview

      The interview experience was somewhat disappointing. While a range of skills were mentioned in the job description, the interview focused almost exclusively on one specific area, which limited the opportunity to discuss my broader experience. Additionally, some of the questions were not clearly articulated, making it challenging to respond effectively. Unfortunately, one of the interviewers, became noticeably agitated and raised his voice during the discussion, which made the situation uncomfortable. Overall, it was not a positive experience.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Anonymous interview candidate
      Dublin, Dublin
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Davy (Dublin, Dublin) in May 2017

      Interview

      I was contacted by recruiter and applied for Davy for me. The interview process was really slow. It took a long time at to get to first interview. First interview was okay. The interviewer asked me mostly about my previous job experience and what interests I have and few technical question related to Java and Spring. After first interview, again it took 2 weeks to get to 2nd round which was F2F interview. It was very short notice to call for F2F. I was called in the morning that I have to go for F2F today. The interviewer was a bit stubborn. I was trying to explain but he was not even listening. Not a good experience in 2nd round of interview. Few days later recruiter told me that they can only offer the same package which I already have. So I humbly declined the offer. Overall not a good experience.

      Anonymous interview candidate
      Dublin, Dublin
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Davy (Dublin, Dublin) in Mar 2017

      Interview

      The whole interview in overall was fine. I received a lot of good questions. Anyway I noticed that people who interviewed me, they were quite bored. I was not sure if it's because of me or other factor involved, but I found out after two weeks later, when I received phone call from different agency that there is a great offer from DAVY for that position. So, it means that they are still looking for a employee. Just for record, until now I have not received any feedback after that interview.
