Software QA Engineer Interview Experience - United States

August 1, 2025

Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The process started with a technical screening round involving multiple coding questions. I was expecting two questions in this round, but I got three, and the round went 30 minutes over time.

Second round was based solely on Kubernetes: theoretical and one coding question.

I couldn't clear round two.

Questions

I was asked three coding questions in the first round, with each more difficult than the last. I was told to code in Python for questions 2 and 3, even though my initial choice was Java.
