Candidate-reported interview process

We started with a screening interview with the hiring manager, then there were four to five interviews with the technical team. The whole thing took about two to three weeks.

It was a good interview experience, not too difficult. If you prepare well, you can easily crack it. So, prepare well in automation questions as well as manual testing, and you'll definitely hit the interview.

The hiring manager was very nice and understanding, the interview went really well and I felt very comfortable with the whole process. I haven't received an offer yet, I still have one more interview to go.
