QA Engineer Interview Experience - San Jose, California

August 1, 2021
Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The first recruiter call was professional. The interview with the hiring manager was also professional; he knows what he is talking about and was very nice to me.

Then, the magic happened with the second interview round, which involved three different team members:

  • The first was with the Security Manager. He was nice and professional, but the security-related questions were hard for a QA role.
  • The second was with a QA team member from the China team who wasn't speaking English. He typed some verbal questions over chat and didn't open his camera. He didn't ask me any coding or QA-related questions. After 15 minutes, we started interviewing someone else. Suddenly, a developer jumped into the conversation and said he would be translating the questions. After the second guy joined the call, they were laughing frequently (I don't know why).
  • They even asked my salary expectations during technical interviews, which was very unprofessional. I don't think they even listened to my answers; their mics were close, and they replied to my questions after waiting at least 45 seconds.
  • The third interview was with the PM, and he was nice.
