Test Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California

Process

The interview process with Wish was an overall negative experience. It started with reading existing reviews on Glassdoor, and suspecting it wouldn't be different for me. Unfortunately, I was right.

To make this short and concise, I will say that there were a few red flags along the way:

  1. No itinerary for the onsite interview, so you don't even know who you are meeting. The only thing I knew was I was meeting two people, and lunch was provided. I guessed I would meet a third person if I did really well.

  2. Invited to the wrong floor (40th instead of 38th).

  3. Felt like I wasted people's time. The first interview was reasonable, and I did not do terribly. I might not be a great cultural fit, or overqualified, but professionally, it could not have been really bad.

The second interview was a joke. The person was clearly informed by the QA person that she did not like me, so I was not even given a chance to demonstrate my abilities. He seemed indifferent, impersonal, and bored. It lasted 3-4 minutes. I have never had such an experience throughout my career.

Why make a person take PTO or free time and spend a day getting ready, driving, parking, and going back home?

Could they not do another phone screen? Skype? Especially if it all relies on a single interviewer?

  1. I never wanted to skip lunch as much as I wanted to that day, and was grateful they never brought it up again. But I think it reflects perfectly the carelessness and incompetence of the company. If you say you'll provide it, follow through.
