Candidates who interviewed for Tiger Analytics software engineer roles most often describe an online assessment followed by technical interviews and an HR conversation. The screen varies. Reports mention aptitude or quantitative MCQs, Django MCQs, SQL and coding problems. One candidate describes a roughly one-hour test, and another describes a 20-question MCQ followed by four problem-solving challenges.
SQL is the most repeated topic. Candidates mention ranking-style salary queries, including second-highest salary by department and third-highest salary. They also describe joins, window functions or subqueries, and a date-filtered department query. Two candidates mention Python fundamentals such as shallow versus deep copy, decorators, list versus tuple and list behavior.
Coding difficulty is described differently by different people. Some report easy-to-medium LeetCode-style problems, such as sum-of-digits variations and a base-conversion puzzle. One candidate describes a greedy problem, a harder dynamic programming problem on quadruplets and a NumPy or pandas deduplication task. Candidates who got offers talk about explaining their reasoning, optimizing from a working brute-force solution and justifying design choices.
Later rounds depend on the team. Reports mention Spark and Databricks questions, data lakehouse architecture, Java and Spring Boot depth, ER diagrams, and deep dives into resume projects and their architecture. These are followed by an HR round on behavioral questions and culture fit. One candidate described last-minute rescheduling, so confirm round formats and logistics with your recruiter.

Synthesized from candidate reports. Individual experiences may vary.
Candidates report being contacted by a recruiter or through a job portal. One describes a recruiter screen before technical rounds. Expect questions about your background, and confirm the role and team early.
Candidates report an online test that typically mixes aptitude or MCQs with SQL and coding. Reports include a roughly one-hour test, a 20-question MCQ set, Django MCQs, and one easy plus one medium coding problem.
Candidates report one to three technical discussions covering projects, Python or Java fundamentals, SQL window functions and LeetCode-style problems. Interviewers reportedly pay attention to how you explain your approach, complexity and edge cases. Some live coding happens on CoderPad.
Some candidates report deeper rounds on ER diagrams, Spark and Databricks, data lakehouse design, Spring Boot or past project architecture. These rounds likely vary by team, so prepare to defend design decisions.
Candidates commonly report an HR round covering introductions, motivation, behavioral questions and culture fit. Outcomes in the reports are mixed, with both offers and rejections at this stage.
