Interview
Completed unpaid training program successfully and was placed on a waitlist for payed training. The unpaid program focused on full stack Java development and lasted for around 3 months. The final exam was based on the topics and assesments covered in the program.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Are you willing to relocate to any city within the US?
I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Revature in Aug 2018
Interview
Throughout the entire process things seemed a big sketchy. They have jobs listed for certain locations just to get them viewed on job boards, but they all require relocation. During the interviews, it sounded like they wanted to get everything they could about me without telling me much about them or the process. It wasn't until a call after my technical interview that I found out about the compensation, but this was due to some miscommunication in their company since I was told that during the technical interview was when they would discuss the training program in depth and select when and where I could start.
After the technical interview, they said not a lot of people pass it. I find somewhat hard to believe. The software they used had me upside down so I had to hold my phone during the technical interview, and unfortunately I have a tremor in my hand so it was a bit awkward.
I declined the offer since the compensation is only minimum wage which is currently $8/h. With student loans and other finances, 12+ weeks of this wasn't an option. It seems like an okay deal though since they said they'll pay for travel, a nice place to stay, and the training.
First an aptitude test which was majorly mcqs, quite easy for people with a computer science background but they also allow candidates with non cs to join so it might be the reason. Then you can take part with their unpaid training which they teach in depth over basics upto creating API for backend using Spring and Java then you get enrolled for their paid program waitlist where they contact you if they have a client that fits with you.
It was good. Interviewer asked me questions based on oops, threads, exception handling, SQL . I was interviewed for 25 minutes and all the questions are answerable and at a level of basic to intermediate.
She also asked me a query approach in SQL and also execute a code.
