I applied via LinkedIn and within couple of days I received a call from recruitment team. During this call we had discussion about my current status, availability and expectation, I was also explained about the organisational structure, benefits, and further interview process. Next day I received a technical assignment which I was supposed to complete within few days. Two weeks after I submitted my solution, I received another call informing that I am shortlisted for another round of interview, this was a video conversation interview with Product Manager and it was a discussion on the work which I have done previously. Also I got to know more about the team, work culture and their expectations from me.
Second interview was another video conversation interviews with COO. This round was a technical plus managerial round where I was also briefed about the technical aspects of my role and there were questions and open discussions on technology which I have already worked with.
After clearing the second interview I was supposed to visit the Company’s office to meet the team and attend last rounds of interview, but due to Covid situation those discussions and interactions happened online on video-conference. In total there were three rounds of discussion happened on the same day back-to-back with some breaks in between. First was a thorough discussion with COO on test automation tools and technologies, and their analysis. This was quality, in-depth technical discussion where we also exchanged our opinions on various technologies. Another round was the interaction with the team members where I got know them individually and what different technologies they are working on etc.Last round of interview was with Head of development, which was also a discussion on other technical areas which I have worked with. Though these discussions and interactions were on video conference but I felt as if I am already part of the team as there were sharing of thought and opinions, and I felt very welcoming and comfortable interacting with each and everyone. After this, the offer was released the next day itself, which I happily accepted.
The whole process took close to a month and half but it went very smooth and I really appreciate the way HR team had coordinated and kept me posted for the further steps, they were very prompt answering the queries and replying to mails. Another thing which I find really satisfying was the the keenness of the team in technology ,level of technical discussions and their welcoming nature.
