Technical Behavioral
The whole thing took like 3 weeks. Started with a quick assessment test. Then there was a 1-hour zoom chat covering HR stuff and one tech question. Finished with a 1.5-hour interview that had more HR questions and some tougher technical questions.

Behavioral Technical
The interview was supposed to be 30 minutes but went on longer than the 1 hour stated in the email, which made me feel like they weren't going to hire me anyway. They mentioned that "QA" and programmers "think differently" and questioned why CS/CP students wouldn't already know about UI, UX, system processes, and use cases. They also said "QA" sees "the bigger picture." I was asked what education I could pursue to improve my chances if I reapplied, and I basically said everything already covered in a CS/CP program. It was also stated that programming isn't used in this job, and it sounds like only talking skills are needed. I have no idea who they're looking for, but it's definitely not me.

Coding Behavioral
Right after applying, they sent a simple one-question coding quiz. It felt like they were trying to copy Amazon's interview style, but not very well. Then, there was a 1-hour Zoom interview focusing on 'why hire you'. Another coding question followed, asking to find the maximum number in an integer array. The final round was about 2 hours long and had many behavioral questions, some quite silly. There was also a coding question about designing a deck of cards and how to shuffle it. After all this, the interviewer revealed they only use manual testing, not automated. It's baffling why they asked so many software engineering questions if they just wanted manual testers. I got rejected the next day. This company isn't worth the time or effort.
