Tremendous Software Engineer Interview Questions
& Process

It kicked off with a recruiter chat, which was nice. After that, there was another technical screen with a straightforward, non-Leetcode question. Then came the take-home part, which was also the final interview. For that, I had to design a solution to a technical problem and then code it out over several stages during the 'virtual onsite'. The whole thing was pretty standard, and I liked that it wasn't full of those typical Leetcode-style puzzles. However, the take-home question itself wasn't great. They said it was about seeing how I solve problems and design technical solutions, but it really felt like they wanted a very specific answer that I was supposed to come up with on my own. It does let you show your thinking, but in the end, it seems like they just want you to reach the same conclusions they did, which felt a bit off.

The whole process dragged on for 2 months. It felt like the interviewers weren't really into it at any point, and when I didn't make it, they didn't give any useful feedback. Turns out I had bombed an earlier stage, but they let me finish all the interviews anyway before telling me I'd failed way back when.

After applying online at Tremendous, I was a bit apprehensive because of the mixed reviews about the software engineering interview process here. Nevertheless, the company seemed interesting, so I decided to proceed. The process is exactly as others have described: - Recruiter call - Technical screen - Take-home test with a written assignment - System design discussion on the assignment - Two timed tests (interviewers only showed up at the start and end) - Interview with someone from the exec team The entire process spanned about three weeks. I received timely updates about the next steps, which kept the process smooth. In contrast to some of the previous software engineer reviews, I found the process to mimic actual day-to-day work. If you're expecting generic leet-code style interviews, then you're going to have a bad time. In my opinion, they seem to value autonomy and asynchronous communication, and the process works to find a fit for their working style. If you are looking to work at a place like that, you should definitely give Tremendous a shot.
