Tekion’s hiring process is highly structured, with a strong emphasis on problem-solving (DSA), system design/LLD, and role-specific technical depth. The process often includes an Online Assessment (OA) with MCQs and coding problems, followed by 2-4 technical rounds (DSA, LLD, or system design), and a managerial/HR round. Ghosting incidents have been reported post-selection, particularly for SDE-1/New Grad roles, though successful candidates often highlight a rigorous but fair evaluation of both technical and behavioral fit.
The candidate participated in two technical rounds. The first round involved BST implementation and validation, while the second round focused on interval overlap detection and LLD for a vending machine. The candidate did not clear the second round.
Candidates were asked to implement a Binary Search Tree (BST) from scratch and traverse it using different methods. Additionally, they had to determine if the constructed tree was a valid BST.
Implement a BST from scratch
Traverse the BST using different methods
Detect if the constructed tree is a BST
Candidates were asked to solve problems involving interval overlap detection and design a vending machine using Low-Level Design (LLD) with implementation.
Detect if two intervals with startTime and endTime are overlapping
Design and implement a vending machine using LLD
The candidate underwent two rounds of interviews for the Associate Software Engineer - Frontend role at Tekion. The first round tested DSA, JavaScript, web fundamentals, and machine coding, while the second round focused on a machine coding task with the hiring manager. The candidate was selected for the role.
A single round covering DSA, JavaScript, web fundamentals, and machine coding. JavaScript questions focused on output-based concepts like closures, async APIs, and hoisting. Problem-solving involved implementing a deep copy function. DSA included the two-sum problem (with and without a sorted array). Machine coding required building a basic React app to fetch and display data from an external API, with follow-up tasks like adding search and filtering features.
