Process
I had applied to Akuna through Glassdoor. After a couple of weeks, I received an email to complete a basic programming test on HackerRank. After clearing that test, a video interview was scheduled with HireVue a week later.
Questions
Programming was normal: string, datastructures.
Hirewire questions were few:
- Quant questions based on Permutation and Combination and algebra.
- Personality questions: "Why Akuna?", "Describe any difficulty in a project you faced."
etc.
Was this helpful?
