      Test Automation Engineer Interview

      21 Sept 2016
      Anonymous interview candidate
      London, England
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Mendeley (London, England) in Sept 2016

      Interview

      Interview process for role is telephone interview with two staff members. a marathon technical set of face to faces to last 'up to 4 hours' and then if all still good. A 30 minute call with the big boss in another separate session. All a bit much when they're just looking for a short term contractor I pulled out at phone interview stage as they were almost ten minutes late making the call, they never introduced themselves or said what they did until I was able to drag it out of them and they and obviously had no experience in interviewing full stop, let alone interviewing for test professionals. I was not asked any technical questions and it felt like they were just reading from a script with no understanding of the questions they were asking. Seemed they were interviewing for a manual tester or project manager role and did not know what they really wanted. I was not asked a single question about test automation or anything in their 'essential skills' list. Hopefully they'll improve based on other glassdoor reviews I see and wish them all the best. For now I know, I feel like I've dodged a bad egg

      Interview questions [3]

      Question 1

      Tell me your understanding of what the role is. What has the agent told you?

      Question 2

      What do you think of metrics?
      Answer question

      Question 3

      How would you know what to test? What would you do if the project fell behind? What would you do if team are running late but still need to get everything done for a fixed date? How would you determine what to test in tight timelines?
