The worst interview process I've been at so far. First, I was contacted in May 2023, but it turns out my application was from October 2022. The way I understood that was that I got an invitation for an interview, but I didn't remember applying. Then, I saw in my mail that I had applied around 6 months ago. So, the CV they had of me was 6 months old - weird! First, a screening call where they were late with more than 10 minutes. Then they left right on the dot even though I was in the middle of asking a question. They didn't at all wait for 10 more minutes to take into account that they were late. This was rude. I was invited to a next stage. This had standard questions around QA and automation. Very detailed questions about frameworks and how I would approach certain problems. I thought it was a good interview even though I think some of the questions were just nit picking. I was invited to a next stage - home task. I completed it in 3 days and I sent an email about it. I didn't have a response for 2 weeks! Then, a very weird email comes from them (after 2 weeks!) asking if there's anything they can help with and they are interested to get me know more. I answered that I didn't really understand the idea of that email. Then, on the next day, they responded with asking how the home task is going. I was laughing at this point, because I had finished the task more than 2 weeks ago and had even sent them a message about it. I then responded that I no longer have interest in the position and that they need to work on their email notifications. Honestly, the worst interview process I had experienced.

The interview process consisted of several online meetings, first with the recruiter, then someone from the QA team for a technical discussion based on my previous work experience, followed by a take-home assignment, then another technical discussion around the assignment and general fit with the role, team and company. I really enjoyed the take home assignment. It was relevant but also fun to do. I also appreciated the fact that the interviewers really took the time to get to know me and answer my questions (most of the calls went beyond the scheduled time).
