      Backend Engineer Interview

      7 Nov 2021
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Tessian in Aug 2021

      Interview

      One of the tessian member sent a python test invitation which was very simple. Even you solved question on time you can't even made to second round and even after you get another link for invitation of test when you get back with this problem to their member they send an email that states, this was a system error and after some days you got rejection email. I don't know how they eveluate candidates if you need a senior person don't post for junior to mid level or if you find your candidate don't waste other's time. I have sent bunch of emails, they only see your mails but nobody will reply with responsbility. I don't know this company really maintaining the hiring decorum. This was the second time that they did this and they have been hiring for backend engnieer role since june 2021.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Online Test: 1 Problem Solving/DS Algo question was asked. Sufficient time was given to solve the question but it was recommended/mentioned that the question should not take more than 60 min to solve. Codepair Round: Questions on past experience and some technical questions (DS Algo/ Problem Solving) were asked, as it is codepair round, answer has to be implemented and successfully run. One technical question and its extension was asked Virtual F2F: 1: Past experience was discussed and then somewhat real-world open-ended problem solving question was asked, I guess this was asked to evaluate on thought process. Healthy discussion was involved to device various optimisation of the problem. 2. 2 F2F interview was more of DS Algo/Problem-Solving round. A real world problem was asked which was first to be solved through native DS/Algo concepts and then more engineering complexities were introduced, where I guess some design skills were also being tested. 3. 3 F2F interview focuses on System Design skills. A Design question based on one of Tessian product has been asked
