Interview
Tyk interview process is broken down into five phases.
- Interest in role or position and interest in working or joining Tyk
- Interview with a recruiter to discuss more about the role and evaluate your profile
- Interview with a manager / team lead to gauge your experience and fitness for the job
- Challenge to test to assess technical ability and competence
- Interview with the boss of the team lead or any other Tykling to ascertain if you are a good fit culturally
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What makes you a good fit for the role? / Why are you leaving your current position?
Series of interviews/tasks (around 3, in my experience) each highlighting different aspects of the role spanning from technical to personal. Each were designed to meticulously examine the applicant's overall performance and values and how it fits into the Tyk culture. Took quite some time, as the updates and moving on to the next step are more of a weekly thing, but it was well worth the wait.
PS. The people involved in the application process were are really nice.

Interview
1. People team interview - A conversation about career moves, motivations and skills.
2. Role-specific interview - Typically a call with the hiring manager, getting into the nitty gritty of the role and experience needed.
3. Role-specific assessment as some roles may require a task/presentation/assessment at the third stage - The aim is to identify individuals or recipients who not only possess the requisite technical expertise based on a given task but also align well with the organizational values.
4. Culture interview - Usually a conversation with someone in Tyk that works in a completely different department/area than the role applied for
