Senior QA Engineer Interview Experience
Process
Worked with a company recruiter. The interview consisted of a phone interview and a 1:1 interview with the company.
Questions
Simulate a 6-sided die with a coin.
A light bulb is hanging in a room. Outside of the room are three switches, only one of which is connected to the lamp. In the starting situation, all switches are 'off' and the bulb is not lit.
If you are allowed to check in the room only once to see if the bulb is lit or not (it is not visible from the outside), how can you determine with which of the three switches the light bulb can be switched on?

- 4.0Unclear path for advancement, regular layoffsSenior QA Engineer • Current EmployeeCambridge, Massachusetts, United StatesJanuary 21, 2020Pros: Generous PTO. Good salary, bonus, and RSU rewards. Complex systems and real technical challenges.Cons: Layoffs happen every year now. Once you hit Senior II, advancement is very difficult. People who get to higher levels tend to hold on for dear life. Because they don't move on, it's harder to get promoted. The promotion process is unclear and uneven across the organization. Some teams have 30 or 40 percent Principal level titles, which seems really ridiculous.
