he overall interview process was quite slow, requiring multiple follow-ups from my side to get updates. While the initial rounds were aligned with a Senior SDET role, the director-level round focused heavily on architectural and deep backend concepts, which seemed more relevant to a developer or architect role rather than QA. This created a mismatch in expectations and made the process less efficient.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Questions were centered around system design and backend technologies, such as why MongoDB was created, how it works internally, and the purpose of Kafka compared to other tools. These questions were more aligned with backend or architectural roles.
