Software Quality Assurance Engineer Interview Experience - Cupertino, California
Process
I was reached out by a recruiter and immediately interviewed with the team manager, instead of what I would assume is a typical HR screening interview.
The first interview with the team manager involved getting to know the QA process and what questions to ask.
The second round was technical and tested the tech stack.
