The hiring process was pretty standard. It began with a phone chat with HR, followed by a phone call with the hiring manager, and then an in-person interview with the team. The team seemed great at first, and I even got a verbal offer right after the interview. But then things went south. I had to chase HR for updates and they were never clear about my status. After several emails, they finally let me know they might not need the position anymore because of some bad company news, which I get. What I didn't like was the lack of transparency throughout. I spent almost a month following up, turning down other job offers to wait for Spectrum's offer. Their communication was poor.

Behavioral Group Presentation

Received an email invitation for a phone interview, then got invited for an in-person interview. It was a 2.5-hour session with 7 peers, the director, and colleagues, involving both individual and panel formats. At the end, I was told everything was okay and they'd extend a job offer. However, after two weeks, they decided to go with another candidate.

Behavioral Technical Presentation

First, a phone interview. Second, an on-site interview that lasts about 2.5 hours and involves meeting around 5 different people. You'll get a schedule for this. Questions are very straightforward. Third, an interview with the CEO, who then offers you the job; he interviews all potential candidates.

Applied through the company website. Got an email for a Zoom panel interview. It lasted about 30-40 minutes with 5 QA team leaders and 1 HR person. The next step was just a background check.
