Candidate-reported interview process
I applied online, and then I was sent a coding challenge, which I finished. After that, I was rejected during the screening round. In that round, the interviewer asked me some basic questions like why I chose Alloy and why I want to be a Data Engineer. They also asked about my past work experiences and some behavioral questions.
First, there was a TripleByte technical test. Then, an intro call with the technical lead where they asked general questions about the company and my experience. Finally, a live coding round with an engineer on CoderPad.
First up was a multiple choice technical test from TripleByte, covering software dev stuff like sorting, frontend, distributed computing, and logic. Then I had a quick chat with an Engineering lead, where they asked about a project of mine and what I liked about Alloy. The last round was a live coding session on CoderPad with the Alloy team, where we had to parse a list of real data. The team was really helpful, and this round gave me a good sense of the actual work.
