HR reached out by phone for an initial chat, then I was asked to come in for an 8-hour interview day at the office. The interviews were pretty straightforward, and the people involved (HR and the panel) were professional and friendly. The whole process had 4 parts: 3 coding tests and a final face-to-face. It was really well put together, which was a big plus. I felt good about it because I aced the coding assessments and the face-to-face went smoothly, with positive feedback. I heard back within 2 days via email. The reason I'm giving a negative experience is not because I didn't get an offer, but because there was no clear explanation from HR about why I wasn't selected. I just got a generic rejection email saying 'something was miss,' and I'm still waiting for a reply when I asked for details on how to improve. It felt like my time and effort were wasted.

So the interview for the DevOps role here at BrowserStack has 4 rounds. First up is a code pairing round that's all about AWS CLI stuff and scripting. Then there's a managerial round where they wanna see how you solve problems, work with a team, and make calls when things get hectic. After that, we have a cultural fit interview to make sure you vibe with BrowserStack's values and how we work. And the last one is with HR, where you'll chat about salary, benefits, and what you're looking to do career-wise.
