I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Plume Design
Interview
Started with HR reaching out to me through Linkedin. After the initial interview with the HR, where I generally summed up my carreer in QA. She seemed impressed and offered a next round of interview with technical team. There all turned into a completely other dirrection.
I logged into the Zoom call 1 minute earlier and I was greeted with yelling from technical lead, saying "Get out of here, you are one minute early!". After logging in 60 sec later the atmosphere was terrible. We went through all interview in normal manner. The QA team seamed dead inside with very condescending comments on my carreer path. They also said, I am expected to work overtime, live for the grind and have no personal life whatsoever.
I declined the offer at end, because I felt I will be slave for them, regardless of good pay.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Plume Design (Ho Chi Minh City) in July 2022
Interview
5 peoples interviewed me in 5 difference interviews. Most of question is Python and Networking layer 2, layer 3 and some in QA processes:
1. What is VLAN? Tagging VLAN and untagged VLAN?
2. When you enter the URL to the browser and browser return with not found error, what is the potential root cause?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Plume Design (Palo Alto, CA)
Interview
Whenever I interview people in the future, I hope they will feel the sense of professional respect I felt in every discussion with the interview team.
Interviewers patiently answered my questions. They were polite and kind while exploring my career interests, relevant experience, technical abilities, knowledge of QA testing, triage of defects, problem determination skills, and fit for the position and the company. The interviewers were also very interested in equiping me to make a good decision, by helping me explore whether this would be a good move for me, and whether I would be happy and successful there.
I feel this was the most respectful interview process that I've participated in at any company over the last three decades.
