I had the feeling that the interview would be interesting.
I spoke with their HR department, the VP of Engineering, and the manager of the hiring group.
The HR rep talked about benefits and all the other HR things they normally discuss with prospective employees.
The second person, the VP, was cordial but scripted. They had a checklist of questions they asked. I'm not sure it's really effective, but I guess you get answers to specific questions from each candidate, which makes it easier to compare and contrast.
The final interview was with the hiring manager. He was very technical and focused. I really enjoyed talking with him.
It was the infamous question: how would you handle a developer that didn't agree with your bug assessment? He then followed up by asking, what if the developer just closed it; what would you do?
The following metrics were computed from 3 interview experiences for the Dell QA Lead role.
Dell's interview process for their QA Lead roles is incredibly easy as the vast majority of engineers get an offer after going through it.
