      Software Development Engineer In Test (SDET) Interview

      16 Mar 2025
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Richmond, TX
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Charles Schwab (Richmond, TX) in Dec 2024

      Interview

      I applied for the position through LinkedIn and received an email to schedule a phone call with a recruiter. After the initial phone call, I was scheduled for the next round of interviews. During the interview, only Jessica and another lady had their cameras on, while the rest of the interviewers kept theirs off. Jessica's questions were clear, relevant, and easy to understand, and I was able to respond to her effectively. However, I found it difficult to understand questions from the other interviewers. They didn’t seem well-prepared, and their questions lacked depth and relevance to the role. One of the interviewers asked technical questions related to writing SQL queries but didn’t share the queries visually, which made it challenging for me to respond accurately. I did my best based on what I could understand. The other interviewers mostly asked very general questions like, “Explain your experience with Pandas,” or “Explain your experience with API testing,” but they didn’t probe deeper or ask follow-up questions. It felt like they were just going through a checklist rather than engaging in a meaningful conversation about my skills and experience. Additionally, just before the interview, I received a message from Suraj Sarma inquiring if I was interested in a Lead SDET role. As I was preparing for the interview, I initially responded "no" without much thought. A few minutes later, I reconsidered and messaged back to express my interest. However, Suraj responded that the role had already been filled within 2–3 minutes. This interaction felt unusual and seemed connected to the interview process, which added to the confusion. Overall, the interview experience was disappointing. It appeared that some of the interviewers hadn’t reviewed my resume in detail, and the process felt unstructured. It gave the impression that decisions were being made based on factors beyond qualifications. I hope this feedback helps improve the interview experience for future candidates.
