QA Engineer Interview Experience - Sunnyvale, California
Process
I had a phone interview where it was completely about my previous QA experience.
Later, I had another interview that included questions on Java, databases, XML, X-Query, and the HTTP protocol.
Then, I had an in-person interview where I met with four people. Each person interviewed me for about 45 minutes, and everyone asked different, valuable questions. I really felt the questions were worth my time.
