1) Alex Mann: "I think your coworkers are stupid, non-technical people. Therefore, your work is never critiqued by others, so maybe 1/3 of your work is good, 1/3 is okay, and 1/3 sucks. Is this fair?" 2) Alex Mann: "QA is really tedious and boring and I think you would get bored... I had to write a test for a video game character going through a map 19,000 times..."

The primary focus of the interview was on my experience with creating test cases. I explained that, in my previous roles, creating test cases typically required a comprehensive understanding of the product, as well as collaboration with other teams. It was often a task handled by QA leads or senior team members due to the depth of knowledge needed. However, the response I received from the interviewer downplayed the importance of this task, calling it “basic for QA.” This response didn’t align with my professional experience, as I believe creating effective test cases is a detailed, collaborative process that’s essential for ensuring quality. It left me feeling that my expertise and approach to QA were not fully understood or respected.
