Non-technical round with the head of engineering
Reported · Glassdoor interview reports, Tkxel software engineerSenior leadershipSome candidates instead report an architect round followed by an on-site interview with the CTO, who is described as focusing on OOP, databases and sockets.
What comes up
Recurring themes from candidate accounts, not a question bank. Nobody is served by leaked question lists, least of all you in the interview.
SQL in every round
Reported · Glassdoor interview reports, Tkxel software engineerQueries appear in both technical interviews, not just the test.
Sockets and networking
Unverified · Glassdoor interview reports, Tkxel software engineerReported specifically for the CTO round, which is unusual and worth a refresher if you reach it.
What it pays
Nothing published, and nothing worth guessing at. Pakistani companies almost never state pay, and a made-up range is worse than no range because people negotiate against it.

Each link says how Tkxel is tied to the university and where that is published. It is not a list of the only places they hire from, and a degree from one of these does not guarantee an interview.
How to actually get seen
Most respondents describe the interview as difficult, but about a third of candidates received an offer within a day or two of interviewing, so decisions come fast once you are through.

Every claim here is labelled
Hiring processes change, and most of what is known about them comes from candidates rather than from the companies. Every claim here is labelled with its source and how well established it is. Treat the official careers page as the last word, and tell me when something is out of date.
Nobody pays to be listed here, and nothing on this page is sponsored. Companies cannot buy a higher position or have a profile removed on request, though I will correct anything that is wrong.
Interviewed at Tkxel? Fill in what changed.
Processes change, rounds get added, tests get replaced. If what you went through was different from what is on this page, tell me and I will update it.
Want me to refer you here?
Send me the role, your CV and a few honest paragraphs on why you fit it. Where I know someone inside and your profile matches, I will make the introduction. Where I cannot, I will tell you why and point you at the route that does work. You get an answer either way.
Stuck on something specific?
Writing only gets you so far. If you want an answer to your situation rather than the general case, book a session and we will work through it together. Sessions are free for approved Sefism members, and a few slots open each week.
