Software Development Engineer In Test (SDET) Interview Experience - United States
Process
Initial screen with hiring manager, then a four-hour interview day with four other folks in QA (lasting an hour each). One was technical; the rest were mostly talking about experience. One of my interviewers was wildly unprepared and seemingly did not even look at my resume. I waited a week to reach out to the recruiter to ask about a timeline to hear back about their decision, as well as to thank them for interviewing me. I did not receive an email back. Very unprofessional and disappointing.
