Denali Advanced Integration Qa Engineer Interview Questions
& Process

The hiring manager was unprofessional, calling me "geeky." I feel I avoided a bad situation because their management seems poor. The questions were similar to others I've seen, so studying those is recommended. Hopefully, you won't encounter the same interviewer who seemed entitled.

Had an initial HR screen that lasted about 15 minutes and it went really well; the recruiter seemed invested in my success. The subsequent interview also went well, with questions fitting the job description. The role is unusual because they consider candidates with no formal education if they have QA experience. There wasn't a technical or LeetCode-style interview. The interview was 20% behavioral and 80% focused on testing methodologies. It's crucial to prepare for open-ended testing questions like 'Imagine we're designing a common household object. How would you test it?' Failure on this type of question likely means no job offer. The work-life balance sounds comparable to Amazon, but without the same compensation, so it might have been a fortunate outcome.

First I had a phone interview, and all the questions they asked me on the phone they also asked in person. If I didn't answer something well on the phone, they would tell me and give me some study material to look at before the in-person interview. Then, before talking to a panel of three people, I had a quick one-on-one chat where they told me what they were looking for. They gave me some good advice, like to be concise and not use analogies when explaining things.
