Candidatei-me por meio de uma agência de recrutamento. O processo levou 2 semanas. Fui entrevistado pela EXFO (Montreal, QC) em abr. de 2026
Entrevista
interviewed for a QA Analyst position at EXFO. The overall interview process was well-structured but had some delays in communication.
The process started with a third-party HR recruiter who reached out initially. The first round was with the QA Manager, which was relatively straightforward and focused on my resume and basic QA concepts such as system testing vs regression testing, Jira usage, and overall testing approach. The manager was friendly and explained the company and role clearly.
I was then invited for an onsite panel interview the next day, which included a Product Owner, Architect, Senior QA, and a Software Developer. This round was more technical and in-depth. They asked about testing strategies, bug identification, CI/CD, API testing, and automation practices. Most questions were aligned with my resume and experience.
The panel was supportive and professional, but the technical depth was slightly higher than expected for a primarily manual testing role. There was also a coding-related question, which felt less relevant to the role.
While I was able to answer most questions, the interview pressure affected my performance in some areas. However, the discussion overall was constructive.
The main downside was the delay in communication after the final round. It took a while to receive an update, which could be improved for a better candidate experience.

It was a 1 hour interview and two people were there. One was asking technical questions and other one was asking behaviourial question. So the technical part was not very tough but mostly from past experience work and degree done. They strated from very basic questions then take it into real problems. EXFO works for testing and measurment tools equipment for fiber link and network desgining, so most of questions were on OTDR, OSNR, BER, OLTs, DWDM , OSA etc

Received positive feedback each step of the way, was given the potential start date as I granted the requested background authorization.
Until I was ghosted for more than 2 weeks,
It didn't add up, every point of contact with folks from this company was positive, with intent, it had the momentum of a company eager to get working, exactly what I needed.
After 2 weeks of phone calls and emails with no response I wrote it off.
....but then they responded.
I was told the manager said I wasn't a fit.
I never met this manager, only shook his hand as the department supervisor and I closed out our conversation about the job.
I think they may have gotten some wires crossed.
