I applied through other source. I interviewed at Tigera
Interview
I do not recommend this company. During the interview, the interviewer asked me to name the two key features of their product and insisted I should know their product in detail. This was supposed to be a software developer interview, not a product manager role. When I couldn’t answer, he said he was “shocked,” which I found very disrespectful. Overall, this was a waste of time, and I would advise against applying here.
Hi there—thank you for sharing feedback on your interview experience with Tigera. We are sorry to hear that you felt disrespected during the interview. Our philosophy is to engage with all candidates professionally and respectfully.
It is standard practice for us to assess a candidate’s knowledge about our company and our products. The level of a candidate’s understanding gives us a sense of their level of interest and enthusiasm about the role.
We will share your feedback with our hiring manager to ensure that we don’t use words or phrases that may appear disrespectful, but I want to assure you that this is never the intent.
Thank you again for your time and feedback. We wish you all the best in your career journey.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Tigera in Mar 2024
Interview
The interview process was lengthy but very well conducted and transparent. In total, there were 7 interviews:
- Screening with HR (behavioural and cultural fit)
- Interview with the Hiring Manager (past experiences, cultural fit, and a simple code test)
- Panel with 4 interviews (Design, Code Test, Behavioural, CPO)
- Interview with the CTO (behavioural and cultural fit)
Despite the process being thorough, it was actually quite smooth and enjoyable. Everyone I interacted with was friendly, respectful, and the discussions were genuinely engaging and pleasant.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Code test: solve the Fibonacci sequence. After that, we discussed improvements and analyzed the time and memory complexity.
Everyone was enthusiastic and I could tell everyone was invested in their project. Everyone is also very technical and understanding. I wish some responses were quicker, but everything went smoothly. Everything was done in about 3 weeks.

Question 1
Lots of behavioural questions since they also prioritize culture
