Real, anonymous reports from people who interviewed for QA Engineer at Veeam, newest first and distilled into what to expect across the loop.
I went through a tough multi-round QA process focused on unusual Fermi-style problems, deep Windows/Linux knowledge, and practical test thinking over roughly 1–1.5 months.
I went through an average-difficulty QA hiring flow that moved quickly through coding and logic, then ended in rejection with little to no transparency.
Candidates typically start with a take-home assignment that includes logic, math, and QA-related scenarios, often requiring detailed reports on testing approaches or bug findings.
Expect a strong focus on Windows/Linux knowledge and networking concepts, with online tests and discussions that assess your understanding of DNS, DHCP, and system administration.
Candidates will engage in practical testing tasks, such as bug hunts on applications, where they must document their findings thoroughly, showcasing their testing skills and attention to detail.
The interview process can be lengthy and may lack clear communication, with candidates often reporting generic feedback and a sense of inconsistency in the evaluation criteria.
Interviews often include scenario-based questions where candidates must explain their testing strategies for real-world objects, emphasizing practical reasoning and structured thinking.
Candidates describe the overall difficulty of the process as high, with many feeling that the effort-to-feedback ratio is uneven, leading to frustration and a lack of clarity on outcomes.
