System Design
The first round was a face-to-face interview. The interviewer started by asking for my introduction. They then picked a point from my current project and discussed it, later using it as a reason for rejection. The interviewer seemed unsure how to start and immediately jumped into a system design question, asking me to design the Trello platform. They didn't clearly answer my questions about requirements and non-functional requirements, telling me to make assumptions. I was a bit nervous, so I took my time, and the interview ran over by 15 minutes. The interviewer was concerned about their lunch break and left the design interview unfinished. I was rejected because they said my project-related clarity was insufficient and the system design could have been better.
Confirmed questions1 question

Technical Coding System Design
Got a message from a recruiter via the job portal. They were nice and clear about what they were looking for. The first round was about problem-solving and Javascript, and it was fun to talk about technical stuff and everyday work problems with the interviewer. The second round was supposed to be a machine coding round, but the interviewer changed it up and asked me to recall and write a JSON API response for a Scorecard, choosing Cricket as the topic. I ended up creating fully extensible types in TypeScript and provided a sample JSON with two APIs: Match Detail and Scorecard. I felt the interviewer, likely a Backend engineer, was too focused on the data's completeness rather than its extensibility based on requirements or UI needs. It's okay, but making a hiring decision solely on this while overlooking actual skills and experience says a lot about the company culture. If you're from a product-based company, I'd suggest avoiding Tekion.
Confirmed questions5 questions
- Could you solve a Data Structures and Algorithms problem, and discuss some Javascript Polyfills and performance?
- Were there any tricky output type questions?
- Write a JSON API response for a Scorecard (I chose Cricket) from memory.

Coding Technical Behavioral
It was a 4 round process. The first round was an OA with 2 coding questions and 27 MCQs. I did well on the coding questions and got shortlisted. The second round was the first interview, where I was asked 2 DSA questions on Linked Lists: detecting a cycle and reversing in groups of k. I answered both and moved on. The third round, my second interview, covered OS topics like scheduling and the Dining Philosophers problem, and a graph question about hopping. I managed to answer most of them and passed. The final round was an HR round with basic behavioral and situational questions.
Confirmed questions6 questions
- Given a linked list, can you detect if it has a cycle?
- How would you reverse a linked list in groups of k nodes?
- What are some common OS scheduling algorithms?
