Easy Coasting, Bad Management
Easy Coasting, Bad Management
Work-life balance is very good. If you want to coast, it's relatively easy.
Too much politics, moronic Test Leads and Managers, too much process, good people are leaving, low hiring standards.
Encourage innovation, even if it's in testing. Promote passionate and better engineers, not just people who are easy to talk with.

Senior Software Development Engineer In Test
Phone interview, followed by 4 tech screens and a final round with the hiring manager.
SWE Intern
Had 3 interviews focused on LeetCode-style problems. The questions were quite easy; one was about dynamic programming, and some other questions were about linked lists. They were Easy/Medium difficulty. Each interview was around 45 minutes long.

I got the invitation link, completed and passed every test case successfully, but surprisingly received a rejection the following week without any clear explanation, even though my performance met all expectations.
