Technical Coding System Design

Got approached by a recruiter about a cool job. About a week later, another recruiter called to chat more about my background. Two weeks after that, I got a CoderByte assessment. There were 3 technical rounds: 1st was the CoderByte assessment (1 hour, 5 challenges, 5 multiple choice - 1 SQL, 1 React, 3 Python). 2nd was a whiteboard interview. 3rd was a technical discussion/panel. I know I'm not the best engineer out there, but this job would've paid less than my last one, and the assessment is pretty intense for someone who does backend stuff. They need to change how they evaluate people; I get that folks are busy but expecting people to have a degree to build APIs and backend systems is just not realistic. Good luck with the search, Numerator.

Technical Behavioral

I applied for this role through a consultancy in March 2020 at Numerator-Pune. The whole process took about 10-12 days. It began with an online UCAT (aptitude) test, followed by 4 rounds conducted over Webex. The stages were: 1. UCAT 2. USA VP round 3. Technical & VP Pune round 4. HR discussion. The hiring process was quite fast, and they sent the offer letter quickly!

Had to do an aptitude test and a personality test. The aptitude test had way too little time, 40 questions in 20 minutes. Also, couldn't go back to easier questions after starting harder ones. Didn't really like that part of the interview. The personality test had questions that seemed to depend on the situation. The whole thing felt like a waste of time.

Confirmed questions2 questions
  • simple aptitude question with very little time
  • some confusing personality questions
