      Senior QA Automation Engineer Interview

      May 16, 2023
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Santa Clara, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Fortanix (Santa Clara, CA) in May 2023

      Interview

      I recently went through an interview process with this company that left me feeling quite disappointed. From the onset, the process was fraught with miscommunication, confusion, and an apparent lack of organization. To begin with, the interview was meant to be for a Quality Engineer position. However, the questions asked during the interview were largely developer-focused, leading to a mismatch in the knowledge and skills I had prepared to discuss and those that the interview actually covered. (Questions were focused on Kubernetes, Azure, AWS, groovy, Docker, etc which only developers use it) While I was in the middle of solving coding question, interviewer interrupted me with completely random question like have you worked on Jenkins, CI/CD? Can you write groovy scripts etc! This left me speechless as this question could wait for the end while I am working on a coding challenge! Additionally interviewer asked security domain specific questions, which can be pretty difficult for people who don’t have security background. I felt as though there was a misunderstanding about the nature of the role I had applied for. This discrepancy in the interview content suggested that either the job description was not accurately represented, or there was a lack of preparation on the interviewer's part. It's crucial that the questions asked align with the role being interviewed for to ensure a fair and effective evaluation process. Moreover, 2 of the interviews got cancelled with no prior notice from the recruiter/HR. on one occasion, the interviewer failed to show up entirely for the scheduled interview. There was no prior communication of any change or delay, which showed a lack of respect for my time. It's essential that a company treats its candidates with professionalism and courtesy, and this no-show incident suggested otherwise. I would urge the company to review their interview process and ensure that it aligns better with the roles they are interviewing for. They should also strive to improve their communication and respect for candidates' time to prevent such issues in the future. This experience has negatively impacted my perception of the company, and I would caution other job seekers about these potential issues. Even though an interview process is for a company to find the right candidate, it's also for the candidate to learn about the company, and unfortunately, in this case, the impression left was not positive!
