Software Test Engineer Interview Experience

Process

What process? I applied online, and I received a call letting me know they had two different positions open (two different products).

The person I spoke with said he would have the hiring manager contact me about one of the positions that he did not have much detail on.

Fast forward a week or so, I received an interview invite from the recruiter/talent acquisition fellow – literally, a scheduled interview (no contact asking for my availability or etc.).

I declined the meeting but never heard back from the recruiter, so out of courtesy, I attended the interview.

BAD IDEA!

I was completely blindsided, for one. The person I interviewed with knew nothing about the product and role that I was interviewing for (which is ridiculous).

Overall, there was no process – it needs some fine-tuning for sure. For such a large company, they should be a master at this now but clearly, they are not.

Honestly, a huge disappointment. Terrible experience.
