I had one of the worst interview experiences in Canada with this company. The process was unnecessarily long and frustrating.

Despite applying through their system, I only got an interview after reaching out on LinkedIn.

The initial interview lasted an hour with the manager, who focused heavily on personal childhood details that felt irrelevant to the role. Some questions were intrusive and unnecessary. When asked about handling multitasking, they seemed to expect an answer about working overtime rather than prioritizing tasks based on urgency.

After the hour-long interview, they assigned a take-home assessment, but there was no communication for a long time afterward. The process dragged on with 5-6 rounds of interviews, only to end in rejection.

To make things worse, the interviewer confirmed that the position was for manual functional testing but then expected live coding in Java, making it feel more like an automation interview. The entire experience was misleading and a waste of time.

By the time you complete their interview process, you could have applied elsewhere and secured a job with a month’s salary.

Explain your automation framework and your role on it.
