how to get hired at Accolite?

i was recently interviewed at accolite for the position of senior software engineer. according to the job description, they are looking for a person having in depth knowledge of multi threading (guess it is for a banking project), data structures, algorithms, collections, concurrency. so i prepared accordingly. the first round was telephonic and lasted for around 30–35mins. there were questions from collections, working with collections, some basic algorithms, basic level multi threading program, hibernate questions. around 3 days later i got a call from the recruiting manager saying that they want to schedule a 2nd round with me which would be over skype since the interviewer was at UK. they scheduled it for a slot of 45mins. but on the day of the interview, the scenario was different. the interviewer first asked me if i have some exposure to spring, hibernate, web services which i did have but since all these i prepared mainly for core java i said that i have very basic level elementary knowledge. the initial 2–3 questions were on basic of those and then the interviewer dived deep in to core java asking detailed working and functioning of collections, each type of collections, how we can modify them, from each of the nitty gritty things within collections and what’s their use. questions even went to multiple inheritance, use of final variable, multi level inheritance, polymorphism, etc. the interview went on for 1 hour 15 mins. i even had to write code snippets in skype chat during the interview. i am yet to hear from the recruiting manager if i at all made it through or not. but as per my experience accolite ensures that they hire the best person by running him/her through a whole of grinding process and extract all possible knowledge that they possess.
