I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at SQAsquared (Irvine, CA) in Jan 2020
Interview
One quick 5 minute call with the office manager. I then had a 45 minute in person interview which went quite well. It was all fairly easy and the process only took a week or so.

I applied online. I interviewed at SQAsquared in Feb 2023
Interview
The interview was around 45-50 minutes with 3 parts. The first part was to get to know you and ask more questions about the company, the second part was to test your current knowledge of QA and how to think like a QA analyst, and the last part was more technical with a bit of coding but you had to make sure you got all the customer's requirements but also identifying any possible issues or concerns. Overall, it was a different experience trying to think in terms of a QA analyst rather than a developer. It wasn't bad in my opinion. They're very upfront about everything, which I appreciated, but make sure to ask your own questions. Keep in mind that they would rather have a trainee living close to their company rather than commute from far away.
Applied on the company website, response and interview within a week.
Lengthy phone interview about the pillars of QA and what service SQA provides to clients.
