I went through Virtusa’s process for a QA automation tester role and it left me pretty deflated. My interview ended up getting rescheduled twice, and when the discussion finally happened, a lot of what I was asked didn’t feel aligned with the job description or the kind of QA automation work I expected to be evaluated on. The interviewer also mentioned they hadn’t reviewed my resume beforehand, which made the whole thing feel like it wasn’t planned carefully.
On top of that, the meeting itself felt disorganized. The first scheduled interview didn’t even start because the interviewer didn’t join, and when I was brought back the next day, it was with a different interviewer and no clear explanation for the change. The conversation also felt impersonal—no camera on the interviewer’s side—and they seemed distracted during the session. The technical part leaned heavily toward very specific trivia like writing XPath expressions, instead of covering broader quality engineering topics such as automation strategy, working with developers, or how testing fits into Agile.

My Virtusa QA process moved through several distinct stages, and it felt fairly standard once it started. After an initial recruiter touchpoint, I had an aptitude round focused on basic problem-solving, then a coding round to check programming ability. That was followed by a more technical discussion where they went beyond generic questions and probed things like my projects and QA concepts, and then there was an HR-style round to evaluate communication and overall fit.
Across the interviews, they asked a mix of fundamentals and intermediate topics. I remember covering QA practices like regression testing, different testing types, and how defects move through the lifecycle. They also pulled in hands-on skills: SQL questions, plus general programming concepts from Java and OOP. The HR conversation included questions about strengths and weaknesses, so it wasn’t purely technical.
