QA Engineer Interview Experience

Process

They have a six-part interview cycle:

  • A phone screen with a manager.
  • A take-home assessment.
  • A technical interview.
  • A technical/behavioral interview with a lead.
  • An interview with the manager.
  • An interview with a director.

Everyone was nice, friendly, and seemed like they wanted me to succeed in the interview.

The interview with the lead was a little strange. They hadn't looked at my resume until the start of the interview. This led to them misconstruing my on-campus job during school as software engineering related, but I just worked at a computer lab. They suggested that my education was software engineering focused rather than QA.

Then, they gave an impromptu SQL question that they were making up as they went along. This meant I had to write down the tables and columns as they were spoken aloud, and they changed the already named columns when they thought of a better description. This was one of my first interviews after graduating, so I was expecting them to be more prepared.

It got a lot better when I turned the conversation to discussing how I felt my experience was right for this role and how what I had been studying was applicable.
