Tekion-SSE
Summary
I interviewed for an SSE position at Tekion, passed the first round with a knapsack and binary‑search problem, but was rejected after a low‑level design round where I struggled with singleton pattern concepts.
Full Experience
5sep in-offic for SSE Role, pathetic experience by the management.
1st round a guy with 3yr exp. 1 Q KnapSack problem 2 Q Binary search variation kind of kukko eating banana. Interviewer attitude is like he is some geek or something working in Google, seems Tekion is new Google. Anyways cleared this round.
2nd round After waiting 3hr LLD -ask me LDD Of stock system but in his own way, in his imagginary wold stock system work something different. 1st design DB schema then API. well i had no idea so i design somehow. next he turns into Singleton design pattern seems he is not happy with my design. I completely let down in Singleton. And interviewer make confusion on every step, i got confused with static keyword usecases. As expected Rejected.
Notes:- All the round happen on pen & paper
