Tulip Fullstack Engineer Interview Questions
& Process

I had a phone screening and then got a coding challenge on HackerRank with 2 easy questions. Then I was supposed to have an in-person interview the next week, but they had to reschedule. They said they'd contact me, but they never did and ignored my follow-up emails.

After applying online, I was contacted by HR for an initial phone screen with some basic questions. This led to an invitation for the next round, which was a coding test. The coding test had 2 questions and an 80-minute time limit, focusing mainly on DS and Algos. Two days later, I was invited for the onsite interview, which included meetings with HR, two engineers, and then a lead or manager. The interviews with the developers involved discussing my front-end and back-end knowledge, and included a problem about generating excel column numbers. On the same day, I received an email for a final video conferencing call with the Manager and VP, which was a general 'getting to know each other' discussion. It was a really pleasant and respectful interview experience overall.

Applied online and was contacted by the recruiter who explained the position further. This was followed by a Codility programming exercise with two programs to write in 80 minutes. A couple of days later, I was invited for an in-person interview at the Toronto office. The interview started with a 15-minute chat with HR to make me comfortable, focusing on questions about work culture. Then, there was a 90-minute technical round with two engineers who discussed the role and technologies used, and I had to write a small program. Finally, the last 15-30 minutes were spent talking with the Director of IT about my proficiency in programs like SQL, regex, and grep.
