The hiring process at TigerGraph takes an average of 25 days when considering 1 user submitted interviews across all job titles. Candidates applying for Sales Development Representative (SDR) had the quickest hiring process (on average 25 days), whereas Sales Development Representative (SDR) roles had the slowest hiring process (on average 25 days).
Initial call with HR then a call with the hiring manager. There would also have been several other steps, but after speaking with the hiring manager, I knew that this wouldn't be the place for me. Terribly dismissive and full of themselves even though they didn't get the technology. I was really looking forward to the job since it's such an exciting technology, but mental health is more important.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at TigerGraph in Oct 2023
Interview
When I interviewed back in around late 2023, there were 5 interviews that I had. This may change.
- Interview with the recruiter (around 15 min phone call, Week 1): behavioral
- Interview with the CEO (30 min, Week 2): some behavioral interviews, as well as 1 or so technical question
- Interview with the Solution Engineer Manager (1 hour, Week 2): mostly behavioral. For the most part, I just asked him questions about the work he's doing at TigerGraph.
- Technical Interview with the Solution Engineer Team Lead (1 hour, Week 3): mostly technical, we do leetcode-style questions in Google Docs, and I got to write some python code there - we didn't get to run the code. The set of questions I received are a bit related to one another.
- Interview with the VP of Product (30 min, Week 4): behavioral
Except for the interview/call with the recruiter, all of the interviews I've done are done remotely, via Zoom.
Two of the interviewers arrived considerably late (around 15 minutes or so). Now that I worked here, I realized that sometimes people have meetings that they can't just get out right on time (it could be an important meeting). The recruiter did a good job of checking-in with the interviewers when they arrived late - I just had to text-message the recruiter (he gave me his number) and mention about an interviewer not arriving when around 5 - 10 minutes passed.
The process was pretty quick for me. I think part of that was because they are trying to recruit quickly for the role (at that time), and another part was I am pretty flexible with the start date.
The timeline from the time I applied to the time I get the initial offer was around 20 days. I specified the week of each interview above. The recruiter reached out to me on the same day that I applied about the initial interview.
The timeline from the time I get the initial offer to the time I started working at TigerGraph, was around 4 weeks (I was in another interview loop at that time), and when I did accept the offer, there was a 2-week gap until the real start date. I like how attentive the recruiter is to me, and he answered the different questions that I have for him.
I'm very glad to go with TigerGraph, and I'm happy to say that my interview experience at TigerGraph is positive.

Interview
Interview with CEO. It was half an hour and seemed very rushed. He asked questions about previous job. Then he gave a Leetcode question in the last 10 minutes of the meeting and had to leave before the question could be answered.
