Tekion Associate Software Engineer Questions- 2021
Summary
I successfully navigated an online HackerEarth test, passing the initial screening to proceed to a technical interview round. Although my performance in the technical round was average, I received an invitation for the subsequent interview stage.
Full Experience
I applied for the Associate Software Engineer role at Tekion through a referral I got via LinkedIn. About ten days later, I received an email inviting me to an online HackerEarth test.
The HackerEarth test was 1.5 hours long and consisted of 10 MCQs, primarily covering OOPs, DBMS, time/space complexity, and code output, along with 2 coding questions. The MCQs were of easy-medium difficulty, and the coding questions were medium-hard. My camera was off throughout the test. For the first coding question, which was LeetCode's 'Find the Minimum Number of Fibonacci Numbers Whose Sum Is K,' I managed to solve it completely, and all test cases passed. For the second coding question, I wrote some code, but unfortunately, it didn't pass all the test cases. Despite this, I received a positive result and an invite for the next round after two days.
Round 1 was a one-hour session with a single coding question, which was LeetCode's 'Combination Sum.' I approached it with a recursive solution and implemented it. When the interviewer asked if I could optimize the solution, I struggled and couldn't find a better approach. Overall, I felt my performance in this interview was average.
