I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Salla E-Commerce Platform (Mecca) in June 2026
Interview
I had 2 interviews at Salla, one was with the HR which was quite friendly .
2nd was with the head of SRE , which has to be the technical interviews. He was very much technical that i really appreciate it .
He took system design , technical question and scenario based question one go , which is fine , but had so much limited time for the candidate to answer , he didnt even consider if the one felt like if he/she completed or not . Questions itself needs detailed information still he shows thumps up after every answer that now lets have another one .
It feel really weird that if the other person is comfortable or not .
All below questions being covered in 45mins is just make be feel so awkward.
4 kubernetes questions
3 observability questions
3 scenario based question/ system design
After that the same generic response that we are moving forward , not even provide the feedback on the interview.
Worst ever experience atleast.
Head of SRE mentioned that he is looking for someone who could do observability , relaibility, lead/ mentor teams, manage kubernetes cluster , implement SLI/SLO all by one person since they have 8 members in devops team and cannot go beyond 10 .

I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Salla E-Commerce Platform in Dec 2025
Interview
Completely unprofessional. Ghosting many candidates and not giving a reply is the norm.
First, asking for video recorded questions. Then a case study assignment. And then a final interview. And what comes next? complete silence and not replying to follo-up emails at all.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Salla E-Commerce Platform (Mecca)
Interview
It was a very nice interview; there were three people (one if them was HR), and it lasted one hour.
The interview focused on technical questions. They asked a lot about Next.js, React, and TypeScript, including the latest React version and its new features. They also asked about performance optimization and the usual JavaScript questions
Overall it was nice and the people were very friendly
