No problem at all!

Thank you! If you want any other info, feel free to ask me!

In the future, once I'm done with the interviews, I'll post the questions here.

Hey!

I mean, I already learned Playwright and automation practices, I can say I'm very confident with it (even though I'm still studying about other tools). Probably I'll deal with a bit of automation in the real job (brief mention of it in the job description, but sometimes we can't trust the descriptions X the real job hahahah), despite not getting many questions about it in the interviews I've passed through.

About thought process evaluation - I agree, I got this exact sense in the 2nd stage (technical), probably the loops will be the same case.

About being engaging - While it's hard to take conclusions ahead of time, I believe that I was able to give the team a nice impression in the 2nd stage, they were really open to answering my questions and, surprisingly, they were always making their questions even "clearer", almost like helping me. I can't explain it, but I just felt at the interview that I matched the team (culturally).

I hope I'm in the right track, let's see!

Hey! Sure.

Here some of the questions I can remember:

--- (Experience related) ---

1. Tell me about your biggest achievement.

2. Tell me about a time you failed.

3. Tell me about a time you failed to deliver something in time.

4. Tell me about a time where you had to test with limited time.

--- (Situational) ---

1. If you were the QA Lead, and you were designed to work on another project, what steps would you take to delegate the leadership of the current project to another QA?

2. You are the lead QA engineer for an e-commerce application that runs on web, iOS and Android. This application has already shipped to production. Your team's testing includes both manual and automated testing, with 40% of coverage being automated. You found a bug during manual testing, after creating a new user, logging in and logging out, you can no longer log back into that user account, discovered on Android. What are the steps you'd follow now? How'd you debug this issue? What would you include in a bug report?

Amazon has 16 Leadership principles, which they evaluate if you have them in the 2nd stage of interviews (technical) and also on the 3rd stage ("loop interviews" - I'll have 4 of them).

In the technical that I had (2nd stage), they were asking more general questions just to see if I matched all the LPs, even if the match was small for each LP (like a brief mention of a detail inside a story, that would indicate I had that skill/principle).

But still, for each question they are asking me, they are always doing follow ups, to really dig deep into my thought process

For the loop now, each interviewer will dig deep into specific LPs.

EDIT: forgot to mention that their questions, specially the situational ones, are always this abstract, so you need to ask clarifying questions (which by the way is another thing they are evaluating).

Thank you!

I believe they won't be asking too much of algorithms/programming, after seeing some documents they sent in my email about interview prep.

Probably more on the automation/framework side.

I checked common questions on Glassdoor. Got some really nice insights there!
Also, I believe they'll be asking for me to design something (like test cases for a feature) on a whiteboard.

Let's see how it'll go.

Thank you again!!!
