The phone interview was very detailed oriented. I spoke for a solid hour with the hiring manager, who asked many relevant questions about my background. Unfortunately, I had less than five minutes to ask questions, which felt unfair given that I had spoken for a solid hour.

I interviewed with the hiring manager, engineering manager, and several potential direct reports. Again, the hiring manager had a list of questions that took up 44 of the 45 minutes allocated for the interview. Other interviews were more like conversations and good interactions.

I left feeling as though I had nailed the interviews and would really make a difference to the team. I was told they were interviewing a few other candidates. I waited two weeks before contacting the hiring manager and HR recruiter. Finally, I was told I didn't have enough domain expertise. Unfortunately, I was never asked anything about the domain; the questions focused on people skills and QA experience. It was very frustrating to wait and wait, only to be told after contacting them that they were going in a different direction.

The questions were not difficult. I would say the most unexpected question NOT asked was about the specific domain that I was being interviewed for.
