TetraScience Interview Questions
& Process

It was a 5-7 stage interview process. It included a live coding test, data schema visualisation, some technical questions, and a business alignment discussion. Everyone was very kind, the CEO was communicative, and the culture gave me a good impression.

This was one of the worst interview experiences. A recruiter reached out but ghosted me. Then I got an internal referral for one role but ended up interviewing for another. I was asked to prep and present something, but found out during the interview it was for a totally different purpose, so my presentation wasn't relevant to the job. The hiring manager was also condescending the whole time. It felt disorganized and unprofessional.

Got reached out by a recruiter for a role that seemed like a good fit. The interview process, though, was kinda messy and communication was weak. It took like 2-3 months, which felt super long and every step was so unclear. In total, there were eight meetings. One of them was a group interview where I had to give a presentation, but nobody told me what to present on, so I just had to guess and prep without any guidance. It was pretty disorganized and made things frustrating, especially since I was working full-time. The scheduling was all over the place and they'd give last-minute updates, making it hard to juggle my job and the interviews. Even though I had some good talks with people, the whole thing wasn't managed well. The lack of clear communication and organization made me worry about how things worked internally, and those worries turned out to be right once I started. It was the same communication issues with the team and the company after I joined. So, even though the job sounded great, the messy and poorly communicated interview process, which continued after I was hired, left a bad impression.

The interview process was quite extensive and felt unnecessarily long. It began with general calls with both the technical manager and HR, each lasting about an hour. Following this, there was a technical interview session. The first part involved an hour-long discussion, and then another hour was dedicated to live coding. I managed to solve the medium-level LeetCode problem presented, which I thought was surprisingly difficult for the role, but it wasn't enough. The next step was a take-home assignment where I had to create a presentation about their platform. I was given access, but the platform and its documentation were poorly organized. After figuring out the basics, they then asked me to debug their messy platform to assess my testing and debugging abilities, all for free. This phase required several hours of my time, which led me to withdraw from the process, unsure if an offer would have materialized or if they were just seeking free work.
