Talkwalker Software Engineer Interview Questions
& Process

So the process at Talkwalker usually starts with applying online, then there's an HR screening. After that, it's either a technical or a case interview, and then finally a team or manager interview to check on skills, how you solve problems, and if you're a good fit for the team. I didn't make it past the technical interview.

Before wasting your time, ask for the salary range first. I had 3 interviews: one with HR and 2 technical ones. In the first two interviews, I was asked about my salary expectations. The interview process continued, and then after all the interviews, I was asked about salary expectations again. The interview process is not easy, and they want to pay you the minimum. This says a lot about the company's culture. I don't think there's a company that does live coding for 2 hours and then tries to get over on you by offering minimum industry salary for your experience. Avoid this company.

I applied via LinkedIn and the whole thing took about 3 weeks. First, I had an HR call where we talked about the company and my motivations and strengths. After that, there were two technical interviews spaced out over a week. The first technical interview focused on basic algorithm knowledge. I had to write code to find a missing element in a sequence and discuss its complexity. The second interview was more of a live coding challenge, possibly on Codility or a similar platform. It had 3 easy tasks and 1 tough one, and I had to complete all of them to pass.
