Interview
Pretty simple and easy. I met with someone and they basically gave me a homework assignment to write and automated test program and gave me a few days to complete.
The interview began with a brief introduction and verification of documents. The first round focused on technical skills, including Java, SQL, and Selenium. I was asked to write code snippets, explain syntax, and debug sample problems. The second round involved scenario-based questions to assess problem-solving and automation strategy. The final round was an HR discussion about role expectations and company culture. Overall, the process was structured and challenging, with a strong emphasis on hands-on technical ability.
