Was 2 rounds.
First was with someone from HR, Hiring manager and direct report. Was more round describing my previous experience in a Lead role and examples to conflict management. A few scenarios related question and high level project methodologies.
Second was with the higher management and for their approval based on culture fit.
The interview was amazing and everyone was very friendly. They made me feel welcome and feedback was within months. They were kind and made the interview process easier. It was an online interview
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Sage (Londen, Engeland) in Sep 2022
Interview
Have applied through LinkedIn. Basically two stage interview. I gave the first stage interview and they said you are overqualified for this role. So we offer you senior test engineer role. Second round went well. They were basic questions. I got feedback from recruiter “team really like you so give me salary expectations “ . After few weeks they said , there is change in requirements so they will contact me in future. Actually I was excited to join the company so i said give me QA Engineer role(first role). But they said this is totally unfair with you. 🥺 . I was speechless. Imagine you have spend more than 3 weeks and at the end they don’t care about candidate’s feeling. Recently checked on the linkedin, they hired someone who doesn’t need sponsorship. This is totally biased. Anyway I really wanted to join the company but it didn’t happened. I just wanted to sahre bcz they should know candidate also have feelings 🥲 I did lot’s of research about the company and i like environment and theirs products. Best of luck:)
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
First round; QA PROCESS, Test types, different types of testing, test planing, test techniques. Second round(senior test engineer) : mainly API related question, git, some scenarios based. One interesting question: what task you perform in the project lifecycle. Generally i said : we do sprint planning and priorities the different task then i write test plan docs and share with team to get clear picture about testing. And finally test cases and then test repotting. Basically this is current project life cycle. You know what interviewer said it looks u r following old methods like my previous company. I was like huhh ? What’s old method. Without the sprint planning and priorities task, how can team develop and test the entire project. He was interviewer so I didn’t say anything 😂
