I sent in my application online and then got set up for a call with the operations manager. I didn't hear back for two weeks, and then I had an in-person interview. They were pretty direct. It would probably be easier to get the job if you knew someone who works there though.

Technical Behavioral

The interview had two parts. The first was with the person I was replacing, since she was moving to a different project. I think if you're applying for a new role, this part is usually done by the direct supervisor. The second part is with the higher-up bosses. They manage more than one project, so their questions are more general, focusing on broader knowledge of the field and the type of work you'll do, rather than super specific details.

  • Given the current scenarios on screen, what is the priority order for testing them?
  • For a job testing chatbots, what is the priority order for testing these scenarios: testing synonyms for starting a flow without using implemented buttons, smoke tests, minor UI updates, checking correct punctuation in bot responses, and verifying the functionality of a base flow?

Behavioral Technical

I was contacted by a headhunter for a Transportation Manager role. I expressed interest and had an initial chat. About a week later, I had an in-person interview. Another week passed, and I thought I was selected, with a meeting scheduled for final details. However, the third meeting was actually another interview. When I asked the headhunter, they explained they decided to do a final interview, and I was one of two candidates. This was a bit irritating but understandable. After a month of no contact, the recruiter called again, saying I was selected and would get an offer call the next day. But just before the scheduled call, the recruiter informed me they were rescinding the offer and restarting the search. I was shocked, having been offered the job twice only for it to be taken away. It makes me wonder how they treat employees if this is how they interview.

Behavioral Technical

A entrevista foi mais como uma conversa amigável. A entrevistadora criou um ambiente acolhedor e fez perguntas mais focadas no trabalho. Ela perguntou como eu resolveria certas situações, se eu conhecia os termos da área, como eu lidaria com trabalho em grupo e sobre a possibilidade de mudar de cidade. Não foi uma entrevista difícil, mas é importante saber o que a empresa valoriza e se os objetivos dela batem com os seus.
