I had at least four rounds of interviews: one with the manager, one with a team member, then the QA director, and finally the VP. Each round lasted about an hour.

The most offensive part was when the VP looked at my resume, asked me about my employment gap during the pandemic, and questioned why I had worked in the QA field for so many years and was still in a QA role without a promotion. Obviously, she is Indian and treated me as if I were from a lower caste. We are in Canada, and I am not Indian; her words were offensive.

Later, I received a call from the manager stating that they could only offer a Senior QA role. The full-time position no longer existed due to headcount, and they could only offer me a six-month contract. The pay would be equivalent to the full-time salary, converted from annual income to an hourly rate.

It's obvious the VP only wants to hire Indian individuals. I will never apply for any QA jobs at this company again.

Many questions are asked, including those that require reading some Java code.
