HR questions: * Why made you apply? * How do you use AI? * Tell me about yourself. HackerRank questions: * Multiple-choice questions about testing scenarios. * API testing * Playwright/JS/TypeScript Coding Playwright question: E2E shopping scenario and API injection Onsite Interview: Consisted of a one-hour meeting with SDETs and a half-hour meeting with the director. * 1st meeting: Started with 2 mid-level SDETs asking questions. * Questions about GIT - merge/rebase/pull/fetch * Playwright vs. Selenium * API tokens * Debugging, config, parallel/series execution - Playwright * Provide test cases on a given scenario * After half an hour, a senior SDET joined the meeting * Scenario-based questions about UI and an API scenarios. * Git commit conflict questions/general conflict questions The senior SDET used an aggressive interview technique, questioning all my correct answers and making my complete answers seem incomplete. They asked the same questions repeatedly until I gave in and provided a wrong answer. This is a commonly used interview technique, although I don't believe it's a fair one. I can't believe I fell for it and was forced into giving a wrong answer. One of the mid-level SDETs tried to clarify the questions with follow-up questions, but the senior SDET interpreted them as hints. Even after answering the questions, it seemed as though I could only answer the questions because of the "hints". Needless to say, I was rejected on the spot, and the second scheduled interview with the director was canceled. I was immediately escorted out of the building. The official rejection came in a few days later. I cleared the difficult HackerRank technical interview but failed to clear the final part of the interview. I am really embarrassed not to have made the cut since there were multiple mid-level and senior-level SDET positions offered.
