Test Automation Engineer Interview Experience - Pleasanton, California
Process
The interview process is acceptable, but there's a lack of basic courtesy in getting back to candidates after onsite interviews.
The recruiter never replies to emails.
If you want a job here, never showcase strong coding skills, as they seem to prefer candidates without extensive technical knowledge.
The interviews are all soft skill-based.
The job descriptions posted indicate a need for significant technical knowledge, but the company is not looking for it.
They primarily seek individuals who can perform manual testing only.
Some current employees also mentioned proprietary software, and that is absolutely true.
Questions
Everything is proprietary in most of the teams. Can you work on proprietary tools, and can you only do manual testing?
What do you want to do in the next 2-3 years?

There is nothing technically challenging in learning this tool. It doesn't add value to your resume or your technical skills. Soon you will forget all the stuff that you know once you get sucked up here. Not much growth for newcomers. HR works really hard and supports people to move to different teams or different roles, but the hiring managers are useless and don't respond. Comp is okay, even for top performers you get a 2% hike.
