Software Quality Assurance Engineer Interview Experience - Cupertino, California
Process
Since I had interviewed for another QA role a couple of months back, I was directly screened for the "Hiring Manager round" this time.
It was a quick 30-minute QA technical interview with a couple of behavioral questions.
I got enough time to ask the Hiring Manager a few questions at the end.
It has been good so far.
