I found the job posting on indeed.com and applied. Within a week, a recruiter emailed me to set up a 30-minute phone interview. This was followed by a 1-hour phone interview with QA engineers, and then a 4-hour on-site series of interviews with QA engineers and software developers.
The first two phone interviews went pretty smoothly. Most of the questions were about myself and my interest in Indeed. The on-site interviews were more challenging, with technical questions about SQL, APIs, and browser cookies. There were also several open-ended questions, such as "how would you test this web form?"
At both phone interviews, and once on-site, I was asked how I would test a random object like a coffee mug or a box of Christmas lights. For this type of role, it seemed like they really want someone thorough who thinks outside the box and looks at things from all possible angles.
How would you extract just the job title from a web page with a job posting?
