Software QE Interview Experience - San Jose, California
Process
A recruiter contacted me with the position details. I had a phone screening with two people, each lasting 45 minutes. It was very technical, involving Java questions and SQL.
After one day, the recruiter contacted me for an on-site interview. My on-site interview took place around two weeks later. Five people conducted the interviews, each lasting 45 minutes.
Two of them focused on the projects I had completed in the past. The other three interviews involved whiteboarding.
One of the interviewees was very rude. She had a negative attitude, and I felt that I could not work with her, even if I were given an offer.
Questions
Something relating to multithreading and testing the application with multiple threads.
