Product Quality Engineer Interview Experience - Palo Alto, California
Process
I met with a current PQE for a casual meet and greet.
About a week later, I underwent two full days of interviews with current employees.
I didn't feel like any of the interviewers had actually read my resume.
Then, I was invited back to interview with one of the founders. He definitely hadn't read my resume and seemed disinterested in interviewing.
Overall, it was not a great experience, but I stuck it out because I had heard good things about working there.
Questions
I don't remember any specific questions, but I was presented with mostly algorithm questions, problem-solving scenarios, and riddles.
