Meh - this was like somebody trying to test whether you've implemented basic user get / update / save in SpringBoot, while not really having full SpringBoot in there. LRU Cache is still there but the SSML parser tree problem is gone. It's just cleaning up / organizing the existing files (they are all under one folder) and then implementing LRU Cache.
I did not have the java runtime installed on my machine. I code plenty - just mostly have been vibe coding, so that very basic requirement wasn't met. I did my best to have something in the repo.
Questions d'entretien [2]
Question 1
Refactor a codebase - there wasn't much to refactor in terms of number of files. But the repo was setup like a half way attempt at using SpringBoot (there were two repository Classes).
they gave 30 minutes for this task.

Almost everyone will have an online assessment, in my case not DSA, but a repo for you to do some refactoring and add some functionalities. Camera, microphone must be turned on. No human join the interview with you. You have to complete the requirement in 60 minutes and push to the designated gitHub repo.

I applied for the job and received an automated email one minute later with a technical challenge using AI.
They provided a large repository for download and asked me to keep my webcam and screen recording active for 90 minutes (probably for training AI models).
They didn't provide any tools. You had to use your own tokens for the tests for 90 minutes without knowing if anyone was going to see them. Basically, that's what happened to everyone who left a review here.
I understand and like pair programming with AI, but doing it this way is impersonal, probably the worst way, and zero privacy-oriented. You never get feedback. It's one of the worst things I've seen this year.

Weird and invading my privacy, was good in general but not smooth and didn’t feel good while doing it, they should respect candidates privacy, it’s very disrespectful interview , first project was screen recorded all the time even when entering my git password
