I had one interview for the Software QA Tester role with the hiring manager and two team leads, and it lasted about an hour. This one interview before the offer was unusual for a software tester position, as they typically involve several interviews with different team members in IT. Despite the deviation from the norm, my overall experience with the NYCHA interview process was positive.
