      Senior QA Engineer In Test Interview

      Mar 21, 2015
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Los Gatos, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Netflix (Los Gatos, CA) in Mar 2015

      Interview

      My first phone screen went very well. I was more than qualified for the position so that wasn't a surprise to me. Then I had a technical phone screen. I was very disappointed with the interviewer. Initially the interviewer was late with the phone call. After apologizing to me I was asked about my experience and background. The interviewer misread my resume asking me about places that I worked in the past that the interviewer thought I was currently working at. After talking a bit more, I was told that I needed a laptop or PC to continue with the process and do some practice testing. This would have been good information to have before hand. Definitely not something to spring on a candidate during the actual interview. Unlike my first couple of phone screens in which the interviewer's questions were clear and concise, this interviewer's questions were not very defined or well organized. To top everything off, the interviewer had a heavy accent that was very difficult to understand via telephone, especially at times when the interviewer was mumbling in a low voice (or seemed distracted). Given everything, the interviewer was clearly not prepared for the interview and probably not 100% qualified to give a proper one given how disorganized and unprepared the interviewer was. It's a very unfortunate situation because good candidates are the ones that get disqualified for positions like these because the interviewer isn't prepared or qualified to screen candidates. If a candidate sets aside the time for an interview and present a good resume, please give them the courtesy of reading it and investing more of an effort when you are in a hiring role. Needless to say, I was turned down for the job after the poor technical screening.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      I was asked about "current" responsibilities at a company I hadn't worked at since the previous year. How would you go about testing a web site? Why would you want to work as a QA Engineer where you are merely contributing, when you previously worked in a QA Leadership role?
