Interview
After I passed a phone screen interview with one of the team members I was contacted to come in for an on site. I was interviewed by 8 SQA Engineers from the team that I would have been working with. They were grouped into 4 pairs of 2 each. A few days later I got a no from the recruiter. For what reason I have no idea as I aced the interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
There are three boxes, one contains only apples, one contains only oranges, and one contains both apples and oranges. The boxes have been incorrectly labeled such that no label identifies the actual contents of the box it labels. Opening just one box, and without looking in the box, you take out one piece of fruit. By looking at the fruit, how can you immediately label all of the boxes correctly?
HR Screening, Interview with Manager, and a series of panel interviews. Lengthy interview process but pretty standard to most interviews today. Got to meet a great team and had conversational interviews
Call with manager, SQL and coding questions. the SQL questions seemed to be asked off the top of the manager’s head so the best preparation is to be well versed in simple SQL.

Interview
Since I had interviewed for another QA role a couple of months back, I was directly screened for the "Hiring Manager round" this time.
It was a quick 30-min QA technical interview with a couple of behavioral questions.
I got enough time to ask HM a few questions at the end.
It has been good so far..
