      QA Engineer - Whitebox Interview

      13 May 2010
      Anonymous interview candidate
      San Jose, CA
      Declined offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at eBay (San Jose, CA) in May 2010

      Interview

      Apparently this group is QA for eBay kernel - requires high Java and sql proficiency , the interview here sure was an "Interesting" one. The interview started well, i liked hiring manager, he was upbeat, asking relevant questions technical, and non-technical both. All other interviewers were foreign, and all sort of looked sort of depressed. All in one way or other said "I am capable of doing better than a QE job, but this is the best I landed with". The director came in with food for interview and sort of creeped me out in general. The highlight was.... ahem ... Principal QA (apparently), who reminded me of my school teacher - yes complete with glasses and all.., her fundaments of Java were messed up (but perhaps has a lot of practice writing code on paper), and was adamant, raising voice, and asking questions like "is that so?" "how sure are you?". I right then realized, that if I take up this job, it will be the biggest mistake of my life... I wanted the interview to be over, i thought the woman was treating me like I was an urchin asking for her help.... she goes down in my "most horrible person(s) I have met" list. In conclusion, I sent "I am not interested email this morning".
