Process
The 30-minute screener call was conducted by an interviewer who was very generic, almost as if they didn't want to be there.
They provided little in the way of questions and seemed not to understand some basic QE practices and automation tools.
Ultimately, the interviewer's outlook on where QE was headed was very narrow in scope and basic all around.
Questions
Honestly, the questions given were generic and poorly paced. They did little to explore what was needed in the role.
