Quest Global Interview Questions
& Process

I went for a walk-in drive and did two rounds, L1 and L2. L1 was pretty good, the interviewer knew their stuff and asked about Java core concepts and gave me two coding problems. It was a clear and professional chat. L2 was a bit of a mess though. The questions seemed off-topic, and the whole thing felt disorganized and not very professional. It wasn't really about checking my technical skills, and at times it felt a bit too personal, like not focused on the job.

The process included an Assistant interview, followed by a Technical Interview, and then an HR interview. They focused a lot on technical aspects and past projects. The salary assessment covered aptitude, technical skills, and communication. They also asked tricky questions during the interview to test how well I could answer.

An online interview is a virtual, real-time interaction done via platforms like Zoom or Google Meet, meaning no physical presence is needed. You get a link via email or text, and on the day, you join the meeting after checking your tech—webcam, mic, internet. Once you're in, there are greetings, and they'll confirm who you are and the job you applied for. They'll explain how the interview will go. Then comes the classic 'Tell me about yourself' to check your communication skills and how well you can summarize your background. After that, it's onto job-specific questions to gauge your technical skills and problem-solving. For engineering roles, this could involve questions on tools, concepts, practical situations, system behavior, instrumentation, coding, or analytical thinking. They might share their screen or use whiteboards/coding editors, so you need to think out loud clearly. They'll be watching your thought process, answers, behavior, and how you speak, plus your eye contact and general online etiquette. Behavioral questions are also common to assess your personality, emotional intelligence, teamwork, and how you handle things. The STAR method is often expected for these. You might also get scenario or stress questions to see how you cope under pressure. They'll also check your listening skills and if you interrupt. Make sure you have good lighting, a clean background, and a stable internet connection. It's okay to have your resume or notes handy, but try not to look like you're just reading. If tech issues happen, stay calm, tell the interviewer, and reconnect. Finally, they'll likely ask about cultural fit—your goals, why you're interested, and what you expect from the company. You'll get a chance to ask questions too, about the role, team, or growth. They'll tell you what the next steps are, like timelines or other rounds. The interview ends with goodbyes. Even though it's online, you still need to be professional, communicate well, be prepared, and stay confident.

First, you submit your resume and cover letter. Then, a recruiter will screen you to see if you're a good fit in terms of skills and experience. Depending on the specific role, you might have to complete an online test or assessment. After that, there will be one or more interviews, covering technical aspects, behavioral and cultural fit, and an HR interview. If you're selected, you'll get an offer and then go through the onboarding process.
