Test Automation Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I applied online for a Test Automation Engineer position and received my first call about 2-3 weeks after I applied. The manager had a very thick Chinese accent, making it very difficult to understand her. I was able to struggle through the process and piece together most of what she wanted.

I was very disappointed with how things progressed. I was told there were no automation jobs open and that this job was just black box testing/test case creation.

I was also tasked with writing test cases for Amazon.com, which felt pretty menial.

It was very difficult to communicate via email since they were using an intermediary that did not allow attachments. I had to copy and paste five pages of test cases, which stripped all formatting.

Following this, she asked for my transcript. I was unable to communicate that the transcript could not be sent to the intermediary email and that, being HTML formatted, it wouldn't attach to an email in a plain text, readable manner.

Apparently, they really cared about grades, despite me becoming a senior-level Automation Engineer in only a year of working at my current company. I received no further communication from the company.
