4Th round

The interview started off with a quick introduction(correction - she didn't introduce herself), and then the interviewer jumped into some basic technical questions — things like time and space complexity, immutable classes, and a few Java fundamentals.

the experience wasn’t great. The interviewer had her camera off the whole time. On top of that, she kept picking up phone calls in the middle of the interview, which really broke the flow. Also, when I gave a wrong answer, she started laughing and kept making those awkward breathing noises — which just felt really unprofessional and distracting.

It was hard to stay focused with all that going on. I tried to keep calm and answer as best I could, but the way the interview was handled made it tough to stay confident.

She also asked about rate limiting, so I explained the definition along with different algorithms like token bucket and sliding window. Then she asked, "That's how you implement it, using this?"—so I explained a possible implementation using Spring Boot. However, throughout my answer, she kept making awkward breathing noises (like sehhhhhhh, huuuuuuh), which felt quite awkward.

Also, something seems off with UKG lately—there have been a lot of layoffs happening.
