I recently went through the interview process for a Quality Engineering role. The overall process took around 18 days to receive the final result, which felt quite long. The first round was technical and conducted virtually. It covered: Self introduction Project/product explanation Writing XPath for elements from their website Writing code for element actions Basic manual testing questions Difference between Selenium and Playwright SQL joins queries General testing concepts This round was structured and relevant to the role. After clearing the first round, I was invited for a second round (F2F) at Ecospace, Bellandur, which was a management round. However, the experience in this round was not very positive. The interaction felt less professional, and there was limited engagement. For example, the discussion started without even a proper introduction, and the conversation did not feel structured. I felt that more professionalism and a better candidate experience could be maintained during such interactions. Additionally, it seemed that the role and salary were already predefined before the final decision, and despite going through multiple rounds, the outcome was negative. This made the process feel less transparent.
