I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Gojek in Nov 2020
Interview
The interview consisted of 4 rounds:
Coding:
The interviewer was one of the nicest guys I met in Gojek. This round made me feel more of pair programming rather than an interview. He set clear expectations upfront(TDD is not mandatory and emphasis will be on design and code quality over performance). During the interview my laptop froze and the interviewer was kind enough to wait for me to reboot my system.
Design:
There were 2 people who were interviewing me. The interviewers went to a really good depth on why certain decisions were taken and what I mean by certain terminology with respect to current context. The conversation ended with a fun simple question which was annoying in a good way.
Project:
There were 2 people who were interviewing me. We discussed about the projects which I worked upon and went deeper into one of the performance optimization which I had done. Depending on the type of technologies I had worked on, they went deeper to understand whether I knew how certain things worked internally.
VP:
The interviewer asked me few questions about the type of work I have done and what all failures I had experienced. The interviewer patiently answered all my questions[Thanks to Glassdoor which helped me in narrowing the type of questions I should be asking] in a convincing way and the best part was the frankness[I was really impressed with this].
Overall the entire experience of the Gojek was amazing, it showed me that I would love working here.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Not sharing the questions to maintain the confidentiality.
Worst interview process ever.
- Bad attitude from the interviewer
- They will ask you to solve the problem in their way(TDD)
- No design or problem-solving. As long as you know TDD well, agree to them and do as they asked you will clear the interview.
- Doesn't matter how good your design is and how efficient your solution is. If you haven't used TDD you will not clear the interview.

1. Parking lot question designed to ask TDD
2. TDD
3. TDD
The process took 6 months. I interviewed at Gojek in Sept 2020
Interview
Pretty much a standard process but they would never come back with the feedback once they take all the rounds, neither they will reject you.
Rounds are fine but the worst part is they are interviewing too many candidates these days and even after taking all rounds, they won't select or reject you. I guess this is the ideal time for the companies to go shopping and that is what they are doing. Not sure if this is a good company or not but definitely not a good time to give an interview and waste time with this company for now.
