Software Test Engineer Interview Experience - Seattle, Washington
Process
I was referred by a friend and then went through a technical phone screen. Nothing hard, just questions about items on my resume.
I then went to an onsite interview and was asked to write some basic algorithms. I was asked a lot of questions about how to optimize my solutions to make them run faster. I was also asked how to test each function, and had to list out inputs and outputs that I would apply to each function.
