Software Development Engineer In Test (SDET) Interview Experience - Beijing, Beijing

August 1, 2012
Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I had the interview about three hours ago. It consisted of three one-hour slots with three different people:

  • First, a developer.
  • Second, another developer.
  • Third, a tester.

The interview went really fast, or so it seemed. Most questions were standard technical questions.

There weren't enough questions about me as a person, and I feel I should have revised more for the technical questions.

I received an answer pretty quickly because I had an offer from another company, so they sped things up for me. Overall, it wasn't too challenging, to be honest. I just fluffed it a bit, and I had another job in the back of my mind.
