Software Development Engineer In Test Interview Experience - Bengaluru, Karnataka

Process

The interview process was not organized properly. My interview was scheduled for 3:00 PM, but I was interviewed only at 5:30 PM.

My resume was sent through a consultancy and was shortlisted by the interviewing manager for further processing. The requirement was for Selenium/Coded UI using C#, but I had not worked on either of those tools, though I had proficient knowledge of C#. I had informed the consultancy of this, and they were told that learning a new tool would not be difficult and I could learn quickly. This was also relayed to the manager, which is why I was shortlisted for the interview.

However, after a long wait of 2.5 hours, I was called for the interview. An additional 15-20 minutes were spent arranging the panel and calling the manager on a conference call.

After that, I was not asked anything related to C#. Instead, I was asked to explain the pillars of OOPS and processes in agile methodologies. That was all. My interview concluded in 10 minutes. I inquired about the job opportunity and received a very brief description.

If the requirement for Selenium/Coded UI was so strict, I should not have been called. Alternatively, they could have made an attempt to assess my C# programming skills, as any automation engineer knows that learning a new tool does not take long.

Questions

Explain pillars of OOPS.

Differences between Agile and Waterfall.
