Dolby Software Test Engineer interview questions

The experience overall was not positive. I expected the interview and feedback process to be more professional which unfortunately was not the case. After two telephonic interviews, I was called for on-site interview sessions which lasted for 8 hours (with breaks in between). I spoke to minimum of 8 colleagues from different departments and at different hierarchical levels. Some of the interviewees seemed to be in rush and tried to fill in 45 Minutes slot just by chatting about the random stuff. One interviewer couldn't understand the reason why I wanted to change my job and openly showed via his questions that he was not trusting what I was telling him. Seemed bit on the rude side. However, the most strange question came from HR where they wanted a sneak peek inside my private life. I tried to avoid such questions via humor but I think it never goes well when it comes to showing humor at job interviews. Not in a single interview among dozens in Germany in my enitre life, such kind of questions were asked. Totally unprofessional. I would say among 8 sessions of interviews, only 2 or maximum 3 were on the point where real stuff was discussed. All the remaining sessions were pointless and I am sure they didn't help either side. More than 50% of the time, everyone boosted about how cool is the Dolby as company and how cool are the people working there. After the tirning day of interview, I left the office with not a good impression which was confirmed by a rejection mail after TWO months and absolute silence from company's side in between.

A phone interview. Then, if they like you, they'll have you come in and interview with staff.
