Interview process had 3 rounds for QA role.
Round 1 was a technical discussion with 30+ questions covering manual testing, API testing, Agile, SQL, bug reporting, testing concepts, and scenario-based questions.
Round 2 was a detailed F2F discussion of around 1 hour where interviewer went deep into my project experience. I was asked to explain the complete application flow, draw dashboard structure, explain UI elements, discuss modules, and identify possible loopholes in the application.
Initially I was informed that the F2F would be the final round, but later an additional round was scheduled with a Senior Architect. This round was more focused on reasoning and justification behind decisions rather than technical concepts. There were repeated cross-questions around topics like why I chose Playwright over Selenium, why I wanted to move toward a lead role, career direction, etc.
I was also asked how I got the interview opportunity and whether I was referred by someone, even though I had applied online directly.
The complete process took almost a month and final feedback was shared after about a week from the last round.
