Sri LankaPosted Sep 2025 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I had a physical interview at the company, and the setting felt friendly, even though the interaction didn’t stay on point.

The interviewer mainly asked about quality assurance and testing, with a lot of scenario-based prompts where I had to design use cases.

They asked about unit testing and integration testing, plus system and acceptance testing. The focus was very much on how I think about test design and validating behavior across layers.

I didn’t end up getting an offer, but I understood pretty clearly that the role they were evaluating leaned toward QA and testing rather than general software engineering implementation.
