QA Engineer Interview Experience - United States

July 1, 2022
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

  • Initial call with the recruiter
  • Take-home technical challenge
  • Zoom call with a QA manager
  • Panel interview (3 different Zoom calls total)
  • Zoom call with the same manager as before
  • Zoom call with a Senior Manager

I was very impressed with the level of communication initially. The recruiter followed up with me after each round to let me know what was coming next and who I'd be talking to.

Unfortunately, after the last call with the Senior Manager, I never heard back from anyone regarding the status of my application. It was quite disappointing to not even get an automated rejection email (at the very least) after spending so much time and effort on the interview process (5 rounds of calls + a take-home assignment). I was excited about the opportunity and thought everything had gone well, but to be essentially ghosted at the very end was disheartening.
