I applied online. The process took one day.
The interview process was actually not good. A few things can be streamlined, and a few rounds can be done online. Interviewers should be people who actually know the stuff and should be open-minded. They should understand that to solve a particular problem, there can be multiple ways. The method which only they know is not the only one. Also, please stop asking irrelevant questions in the interview which don't even have any context with the role you are getting interviewed for. Also, a few interviewers are very adamant about their questions and corresponding answers. They have to understand that there are multiple ways to solve a particular problem. The solution which only they know is not the only one.
Also, for QA recruitment, if someone is recruiting a QA for BDD or Cucumber, but while taking the interview, the interviewer doesn't know what Cucumber is. They don't know what a feature file, step definition, and a testRunner file are. For example, if I am telling you that in Cucumber we have all the above-mentioned files and through that we have to execute our test cases. This thing a person who knows Cucumber or BDD can understand without any issue. And if they want, they can ask multiple questions on Cucumber. There are a plethora of questions out there for the same. But if they are still saying that all the above files are okay, but still I am unable to understand what Cucumber is, then please tell me what will be your reaction and answer. People who don't know Cucumber or BDD should not interview a person who has come for that role. I don't think it's a fair thing to the people who are getting interviewed.
HR has no idea about the interview process. They asked me to share all the relevant documents like salary slips and another company's offered CTC. He told me that the next round will be a salary discussion, but they again started with technical interviews. I have undergone a total of seven rounds, which includes even an aptitude test where you have to figure out the missing images. They wasted my whole day and then said that you are not good enough. If that would have been the case, then why did they ask for the required documents?
Advice: Please finalize your interview process and then call people for the interview. The interview panel should consist of open-minded and knowledgeable people who have actually worked in the role for which you are hiring the candidate. It should not be just any random guy who doesn't know anything and went to take the interview just because they have been associated with the company for a long time.
They go with all basic questions of testing, but still I am pretty sure that they will not select you, as anyone from the company can come and start interviewing you and will ask irrelevant questions.
