QA Wolf Software Engineer Interview Questions
& Process

I was asked to do a coding challenge using Playwright. The task was to scrape and sort 100 articles from newest to oldest. After that, I had to make a 2-minute video using Loom where I answered why I want to work at QA Wolf and did a code walkthrough. I completed the coding challenge, made the video, and even put in a current employee's name for a referral. The next day, I got a generic rejection email saying I did a 'great job' but other candidates were a 'better match,' with no further details. Based on the Loom view count, it seems like my video wasn't even watched. I don't feel my time was respected.

First, there was a take-home project where I used their product, and I was paid for it. Then, I had a quick behavioral chat with the founder. After that, I had a 'virtual onsite' which was half a day and paid. I thought the onsite meant working with the team for a few hours to see how I'd fit in, but it was actually another assessment by the founder. They kept an eye on my progress and chatted with me on Slack.

There were two main parts to the interview. First, an at-home assignment which was not timed and had no specific due date. They didn't even ask for my resume, just to complete the assignment, record an intro and explanation, and send it back. Second, a sample project that took place during the interview itself. It was a 2-hour session where the first 5-30 minutes were for introductory questions, and the rest of the time was dedicated to producing work on their platform. They provided a tutorial and suggested using online resources like AI agents and Playwright best practices documentation for preparation. They paid for this part of the process, which was a nice gesture. I haven't heard back yet, and given my performance, I'm assuming I didn't get the job.
