First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at FloQast.
Software Development Engineer in Test
I applied online and the recruiter sent over a coding assignment as the first step, which I did. Then, I was invited to the office in San Jose, CA for in person interviews. The whole thing took about 2 weeks. The recruiter set up the interviews and gave me directions to the office and who would be interviewing me. I met with 3 people total, including two managers who asked about my background and just talked with me. The hiring manager introduced himself and said he and the other managers I met have worked together before. He mentioned he's got funding to spend wisely and make an impact, and said at least 3 more times that he can fire people or they should know when to leave. He also talked about long hours and weekend work because it's a startup. His comments made it seem like he's an inexperienced engineer new to a leadership role. Having worked at startups, this was surprising and unprofessional, especially for this company's reputation.
- Can you discuss your previous work experience and provide a walkthrough of your resume?
- What is your experience with performing API performance tests within SaaS environments?

First, there was a call with the recruiter. After that, I had a round with the hiring manager where they asked a technical coding question and some behavioral questions. Then, there was a 3-hour interview with 4 people from the SDET team and the hiring manager again. It felt disconnected from the actual job, like they just picked random Leetcode questions without connecting them to the company's tech or goals. It was weird, almost like applying for a SWE role at a FAANG company, not this SaaS company. The pay was also pretty bad, no stock options either.
- For an array of objects like [{user='1', keyPress='A'}, {user='2', keyPress='A'}, {user='1', keyPress='C'}, ...], can you return an array of users who typed keys in the 'AC' sequence?
- How would you approach testing a movie ticketing system that has a backend on AWS?
- Could you solve the valid parenthesis coding problem?

I had a phone screen first. Then a behavioral interview with a peer. Then an on-site that had 3 rounds of technical interviews where I answered technical questions and did live coding challenges. Lastly, I met with the manager.
- Can you describe your experience with testing both user interfaces and application programming interfaces?
