      Software Development Engineer In Test (SDET) Interview

      Jul 19, 2020
      Anonymous interview candidate
      London, England
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Global Relay (London, England) in May 2020

      Interview

      I was told that I'll have an interview with 2 QA from the company, just to learn about the role and to talk about my experience. After the interview started, it felt like a technical interview. They were asking a lot of technical questions and to be honest I felt like I was in school again. Everything was very formal, I didn't feel any connection between us and I didn't like the way they put the questions. Anyway, I was very disappointing because I didn't get a feedback.

      We are sorry to hear that things didn't work out. We certainly see the interview process as a two way street and hope that despite the lack of chemistry with our interview team, you were still able to learn more about our products and what we develop. We try to be respectful of every candidates time in the selection process and find it useful to ask some high level technical questions in the first interview to ensure that we do not waste your time with a longer, more in depth technical interview later down the line. Since you left this review, we have been working with our interview teams to encourage them to build better rapport with candidates before jumping into the interview questions. Thank you for this feedback!

      Software Development Engineer In Test (SDET) Interview

      Jan 29, 2026
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Declined offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Global Relay in Sep 2025

      Interview

      Light, simple interview process. 3 interviews. Hiring Manager, Technical and Cultural. Did some code review on simple code and a leetcode easy technical question. Too simple to determine a candidate's potential, imo.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Given an array of integers nums and an integer target, return indices of the two numbers such that they add up to target. You may assume that each input would have exactly one solution, and you may not use the same element twice.

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Global Relay (Vancouver, BC) in May 2025

      First interview was speaking with a recruiter that matched me with the hiring manager. Afterwards I met with QA manager and 2 other QA developers for a technical interview. There were also behavioral questions during the technical interview.

      They asked me to find bugs on a website with manual testing and then write an automation test against the website.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Global Relay (London, England) in Sep 2023

      Interview

      4 Interviews: one screening for background and fit, then two technical rounds testing coding, automation, and testing frameworks knowledge, plus design discussions and a final behavioural/culture to assess overall fit. One of the technical interviews was focused on Javascript (as it was required for the role) with 3 other engineers which felt a bit intimidating.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Name all SOLID principles and explain them.
