I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Headout
Interview
My interview experience with Headout was positive and well-structured. The process focused on system design, database table relationships, SQL query writing, API design, problem-solving, and communication skills. Interviewers were friendly, and the discussions were practical, challenging, and highly relevant to real-world engineering work.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Headout (Bangalore Rural) in Jun 2025
Interview
it was mainly a frontend-focused React Native interview.
Based on my current project, they asked about the HLLD of how CodePush OTA updates work.
Then there was one machine coding question. I made some mistakes because I was under pressure and not fully prepared, as this was my first interview after almost 3 years.
They asked me to create a component that takes OTA updates as input.

A headhunter reached out and asked to have a call. First call was concise and informative on an HR perspective (screening call).
Next step was a assessment completion, via a weblink.
Upon confirming correct answers, an interview with senior / leadership followed.

Question 1
Assessment was fairly difficult, considering that it was timed.
Numerical questions related to performance / business optimization. eg If the marging for 3 categories is X%, Y%, Z% on the price of ticker sold, which category would you invest more money in growing?
