I interviewed for a QA Engineer role. The process had 2 rounds— including a [technical round, and techno-mamagerial round].The interview experience was a bit different from the usual — they asked some out-of-the-box and unexpected questions that weren’t typical for the role.
Instead of focusing mainly on core QA concepts or real-world scenarios, they leaned into abstract or puzzling questions.
For example:
Explain OWASP,Docker, How would you handle flaky microservices in a CI/CD pipeline using Kubernetes?,Questions related to AWS cloud.
While such questions might be relevant for a DevOps or SRE role, they made no sense in the context of a QA Engineer position.
It would be better if interviewers stick to questions that match the role being offered — like test automation, Selenium, API testing, and frameworks — rather than going off-track with infrastructure-level questions.
I won’t suggest anyone to waste your time for preparing for this company as they won’t ask anything related to your tech stack.They want a developer,tester,dev-ops in one resource.
