The interview had three phases: an initial call from a recruiter, a technical at-home task (shows your expertise in a real-life case), and a final interview with the QA manager.

I applied for the QA Engineer role at Haven Life in New York through Glassdoor at the end of April 2020. I had a very bad interview experience and wouldn't recommend anyone to waste their time with them. The first round was a HackerRank coding challenge which I cleared without an issue for this QA Engineer position, however, I also applied to the Senior QA position a few months back and couldn't finish the test within the time limit. I got rejected without any further consideration. This process seemed dehumanizing to me where there was no human interaction involved. Afterward, I had a video call with a Senior QA engineer, which went pretty well. It was regarding my domain knowledge, background, experience, and a coding challenge. The next round was an uncompensated, lengthy, and time-consuming regression testing project with unclear/confusing requirements. Given the type and length of the assignment, according to the industry standard, it should be fairly compensated. The assignment asked to find as many defects as possible on a page along with other requirements. I spent quite a bit of time to properly answer all the question on that assignment since I was looking forward to working for this company. The next round was a video call with other Senior QA engineers for 4 hours. All the interviews went exceptionally great except the one with the project discussion. Not only the interviewer didn't appreciate my work but also got visibly frustrated because I logged more defects than they expected. They completely failed to realize the actual effort I put behind to find all the defects. That specific interviewer was very unprofessional which put a bad taste in my mouth about the company and forced me to reevaluate my other options. I gave a total of 5 rounds that lasted for over 5 weeks. It was a total waste of time. They didn't respect my time and effort at all. I wish I hadn't interviewed for this company.
