I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at ConceptSolutions (Reston, VA) in Jan 2017
Interview
1. Applied online and got an email from Receptionist for a suitable date/time for initial screening.
2. Initial screening - She gave a brief on what their company does, people, culture etc. Asked the basic q's - tell me about yourself and some basic testing q's - what is test case, test plan etc. She note all my answers and as she is not technical on testing...I had to literally spell her my answers :(
3. Then got an email for an in-person interview schedule at their Reston office
4. In-Person Interview - Sr. Hr introduces herself and walkthrough'ed the company benefits and handover the printout of it.
- Introduces to Test manager and interviewing panel (another 2 guys) - He is too cool and asked technical q's(only manual they do not yet have automation) . I think I did pretty well and answered everything as I have more experience and skill set than what they are looking for. Everyone seems impressed and it ended well.
- Sr. Hr said they will get back to me in a day or 2.
5. I didn't expect a call or email from them for a week So sent an email and they replied I wasn't selected
Overall, it seems they are a small company and they are just doing the things in still old fashioned ways and not ready to use the cutting edge tools and technologies.
Anyway's good for me as I got a deserving opportunity at a very big company.
