After a recruiter screening, I ended up going through a multi-round process that felt intentionally structured around both technical competence and fit. The early stage focused on my background and expectations—availability and how I thought about the role—plus some cultural fit and communication. From there I moved into technical interviews where the questions leaned heavily into QA work: testing approach, troubleshooting scenarios, and how I’d handle real-time situations. SQL and automation came up as well, along with manual testing fundamentals and scenario-based discussions.
Across the technical parts, I also had formats that tested more than just recall. There was a written exam that included things like building test cases, and I got puzzle-style questions along the way. In parallel, I was asked to connect the discussion back to my own project experience—what I’d actually done day to day, how I approached defect life cycle thinking, and what I knew about automation. The process then wrapped with an HR-style conversation that centered on communication, attitude, and alignment, sometimes with a managerial/higher-level step depending on how the earlier rounds landed.

Average Negative Taguig
My process took longer than I expected. I went through four total conversations: a recruiter touchpoint, two technical interviews (one of them was in person), and then a final interview. After that, I waited and waited for an update—about 2–3 months passed before anything came back, and by then I’d already accepted another offer.
The conversations themselves were straightforward. The questions didn’t feel like trick traps; they were more about checking whether I could communicate my thinking and connect it to the role. I remember one part feeling like a basic pre-interview question rather than a deep technical grilling. Still, the real strain ended up being the silence afterward. I also followed up once and didn’t get the response I was promised, and the timeline stretched from days to weeks to months.
