I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at American Express (Phoenix, AZ) in Feb 2011
Interview
Very poor interviewer asking basic questions of how you write a Java class, how can you inherit a method, etc.,
I'm surprised that I was asked on basic Java questions for 40 minutes in an one hour interview for Lead Tech Architect position to Create Reference Architectural in BPM, SOA.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How you inherit the properties of two classes (not interfaces) in a child Java class. Where as those two parent classes are not related and not of any inheritance relationship between them.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at American Express (Phoenix, AZ)
Interview
Simple, if you are technical with good attitude, will go thru.
Attitude is more important than the skills.
References not always works.
Be sure of what you are telling.
Eye to Eye contact.
Most interviews are skype or online based, so be prepared .
