The interview was okay, but I'm not interested in Photon because of poor job security. I noticed they used a template for all candidates, especially for QA automation roles, asking the same Java programming questions.

Behavioral Technical

So, my last job had this really tough interview process. It involved some technical tests and then we talked a lot about what I've done before. I made sure to talk about how I led projects, worked with others, and made things more efficient. They seemed to like how I solved problems and noticed how I helped make things run smoother. They also said I was innovative and a good team player. It really made me want to keep doing a great job and showed me I can handle busy places.
