There were a total of 5 interview rounds.

i) The first round was an MCQ + basic Selenium coding round, which I solved on the HackerRank platform. MCQs were related to Linux commands and testing concepts.

ii) A Sr. QA took the second round. He asked a few questions about testing concepts and about Strings (concatenation concept). I was given a String="Welcome" and the output should be:

W We Wel Welc Welco Welcom Welcome

iii) The third round was the HackerRank test. The test included 2 questions: 1 question was related to manual testing, and the 2nd one was related to automation testing. The deadline to submit the test was 4 days.

iv) The Sr. Manager and QA Director took the fourth round. They asked a few questions about manual testing and basic Linux commands and checked whether I could write test cases. Also, they asked a few questions about the HackerRank test. After the 4th round, they put me on hold for almost one and a half months.

v) In the last round, they checked whether I had domain knowledge and asked a few questions about Cyber Security and current roles and responsibilities.

Overall, it was a good experience. All the interviews were challenging.

2. Given a String="Welcome", the output should be: W We Wel Welc Welco Welcom Welcome
