Software Development Test Engineer Interview Experience - Kirkland, Washington
Process
I applied through the GoDaddy website.
About a week later, I had an informational discussion with HR. A week after that, I had a phone technical interview.
We went through an algorithm in HackerRank.
Another week passed, and I was invited for in-person interviews.
There were five people in total for the in-person interviews, which lasted a half day, approximately from 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM.
- The first three focused on technical capability.
- The second three focused on behavioral aspects.
I did not receive an offer. Overall, my experience during the interviews was positive. The interviewers were nice and engaged.
When I was informed that I was not a match, I received a generic, canned email response. I asked if there was any feedback I could use to improve, but my request was ignored.
Even if no specific feedback existed, being ignored felt a bit rude.
Questions
Go through HackerRank's prep for technical interviews, and you'll be fine.
