Software Test Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I applied online and received a phone call for a phone interview with an HR rep. Once the interview was complete, I did not hear anything.

Then, a few weeks later, I was at a job fair and met another engineer at Seagate. After talking with him and handing him my resume, I moved on. The next day, he called me to ask some questions. I told him I had a phone interview for this position but had not heard back. He then passed my resume to the group I first had the interview for. I received an email to schedule another phone interview.

I spoke with an engineer on the design team I had first applied for and explained how they got my resume. She asked me the basic questions, as you would on a phone interview, and by the end of it, she offered for me to come down for an onsite interview.

During the on-site interview, I met with 6 individuals at separate times, including the hiring manager and an HR rep. The HR rep took me on a quick tour of the facilities. The interview lasted for 3 hours. I had requested a quick tour of the places I would be working primarily. The tour lasted a half hour, and I felt it went very well.

Overall, the process was not intimidating, and they seemed very welcoming.

The day following the interview, I received an email from the hiring manager saying he wished to extend an offer to me. I filled out the paperwork to get my background check done.

Questions

Nothing was really asked. Basic questions, some about me, some technical, and some about what I did at my previous employer.
