Automation Engineer Interview Experience - Dublin, Ireland

April 1, 2024
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

  1. HR call

  2. Scheduled a call with the Automation Manager from the US (Basic testing process, technical, then about automation).

  3. Technical round (Asked for verbal technical input, nothing much in detail, more about the projects I have worked on).

  4. Again with a team member in the US (Basically to test agility).

  5. Was meant to be a final round with the Automation Director in Ireland (Good scenario questions, very practical-based, and basic technical; more about approaches to take).

I was told to have 5 rounds. After this, I was called and told that there would be one more round with the Team Manager, as he had newly joined the team and was not part of the process.

  1. With the Team Manager in the US. Few technical questions, then scenario-based. Overall, he sounded happy and said, "Welcome to Workday."

Again, I got a call from HR, and they still wanted to do one more technical round as they wanted to be 100% sure.

I went for the 7th round - core technical.

The whole process, from April 1st, 2024, to May 21st, 2024. Initial few rounds, I felt the VIBE culture, but then the prolonging started. I am fine with getting rejected, but the mental harassment is not good. They kept dragging it out round after round for nearly 1.5 months.

If you feel the candidate is not good technically, then please filter them out in the technical round, not in the 7th round.

Overall, it's just my experience which turned out to be disastrous, but please don't judge based on it. It may be good for you.
