The interview process took 7 weeks across 5 interviews with various team members, Each interview was about 30 minutes and focused on behavioral questions and there was no take home assignment. For the most part, everyone was conversational, which helps put candidates at ease. The communication behind the scenes, however, seems to have been a little all over the place. I was initially told there would be 4 interview rounds (recruiter, hiring manager, team member(s), CTO) but there was actually 5, with a second team member interview that was with product and engineering. There were two different recruiters too, one that I never spoke with on a call and the other I did. When I asked interviewers what they wanted from me that they did not already have, one said "automation" while other members of the team said they did not think automation was possible. Others said "mobile testing" while the hiring manager said mobile could be shared across the team. Finally, the interview that included engineering was a bit frustrating, mostly due to a fairly irrelevant "gotcha" question where he asked me to find the angle between two clock hands to "see how I approach a problem." And when I offered an approach he said it "was not necessary to do it that way" so it didn't really feel like he cared about how I approach a problem vs wanting to see if he could fluster me. As someone that has been on the other side of the interview table, I cannot imagine doing something like this. There's plenty of questions you can ask that are relevant to a candidate's experience to see how they solve problems, and how they work under pressure. Overall I felt that the individual interviews other than the one I called out were professional and relevant. But the mixed communication and the above experience brings my rating down quite a bit to neutral.
