Good to know exception handling for J2EE app. (I.e being able to read and understand JVM logs; a plus if you can understand the flow from the logs given the source code). Have a good solid understanding of how a J2EE application would work. Flow from web browser http request to webservers to app servers to DB. Plus:

      Application

      I applied through other source. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at eGain (Sunnyvale, CA) in Feb 2014

      Interview

      1 phone interview, 1 hour and a half in person interview .

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Questions were pretty simple. A couple SQL questions and simple support scenarios. My only issue is with the later questions, interviewer seemed to want answers they required you to know how their support system is set up. Using Telnet, knowing what Server command and control they have set up to monitor the system status. Majority of my support work has been dealing with highly protected systems from classified government systems to highly secure cloud-based servers like the Amazon S3 servers. These systems use layers of security to protect them from hacker attacks. The use of scripting protocols and permission levels would be used, instead of the security laden connection tools such as telnet. I explained this to interviewer, which seemed to actually annoy him. He was hard to read. They were having a big support issue, and it looked like he had to take over to solve it. So interview became rushed at the end. The interviewer I met about the SQL questions, was very friendly, and I impressed him very quickly with my SQL and advanced Data Modeling knowledge. He offered my a great compliment that I had the skills they really needed on their team.
