Triple Point Technology Software Engineer Interview Questions
& Process

The interview kicked off with an aptitude test that included a few programming questions, nothing too hard. Then came a psychometric test, which felt like it was about speed and accuracy, though I'm not sure why they included it. Round 3 was about problem-solving; they asked me to design a lift system to minimize waiting times, and they were more interested in the outcomes of different scenarios than a strict algorithm. After that, there was a group activity where we had to build a tower with straws and tape – it was different, but I found it kind of annoying and unnecessary. The final round involved puzzles and technical interviews. Surprisingly, no actual technical questions were asked up to that point. Instead, I was asked about optimizing Google Search and Maps or adding new features. It's tough to come up with ideas on the spot, as Google likely already considered most optimizations. The same goes for the lift problem; real-world applications usually use optimal algorithms. Ultimately, I think the interview experience heavily depends on the interviewers; some might ask technical questions, while others don't. Some of my friends did get asked about data structures like linked lists and arrays.

So there were two rounds of interviews. The first was with a Senior Software Engineer and it was entirely technical. The second interview was with two Software Development Managers, also entirely technical. Towards the end of the second interview, they asked me about my past job, including my responsibilities and the technologies I used. After that, there was a long period with no communication. I was actively job searching and was almost out of my previous company when the recruiter contacted me about my application status. Then they extended an offer. The offer was pretty good for the market, so I took the job. Looking back, it was a really bad career move because I didn't learn anything new for three years, which caused major issues when I tried to switch companies later.

The process had about 4 to 5 rounds, starting with a recruiter screening and concluding with a meeting with the India head. Everyone involved seemed genuinely interested in getting to know you, and there was a coordinator to help with any questions you might have.
