I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Freshworks (Chennai) in Nov 2016
Interview
Once your resume is shortlisted you get call. It was just call to schedule next test I would not call that telephone interview, was casual, was referred by smart guy maybe I enjoyed his credibility too. Then HackerRank test, if cleared a days interview at their office. This at office interview is suppose to take place with three individuals from three different departments. As Girish himself boasts that they hire for talent and stuff and not role.
But I had different experience, all three were from same department. Bitterly came to know they are looking for tester with development knowledge, I on the other hand is a developer with a taste for Code quality; no guess interview was just a waste of time for everyone involved. I wonder how my resume got through the filters, the guy who referred me checked with HR and told that the requirement was not clear even to HR since the team in need of resource keeps changing their requirement. *Some Ex-Googler is heading them, forgot his name, believes too much on himself.
I knew I took down 1/3 interviewer with my Jenkins knowledge. But failed to convince Ex-googler and testing lead
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Simple python problems that you can find in HackerRank
Write test case for Web UI Home screen (asked by all 3 interviewers) - Kinda irritating question to ask to a developer, but yeah that was not a good day for me
The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Freshworks (New Delhi)
Interview
In JD they mentioned everything technical and when I went for interview that ladies first question with full confidence was - What is testing ? Then defect priority, severity and some stupid 1 year experience questions. I could only smile when she was asking these questions. Comeon, are you suppose to ask this question to a 10 years experienced guy. Kindly check the profile before assigning interviewers.
