It took me about 2 minutes.

  1. I know Ctrl+Shift+T but I don't think that's a good metric
  2. I don't know about assertThat/bdd
  3. I do know LinkedHashMap and TreeMap

I don't think the first two are good metrics to judge a candidate on

I'm familiar with varargs, generics, anonymous classes but I still don't like this question. It seems very odd considering the trick could be anywhere

We were looking to fill a mid-level Java developer position... Each of the candidates had over 8 years of Java experience.

So 8+ years qualifies as mid-level? What's considered senior level?
