Test Engineering Interview Process at Tier-1 Companies

We prepare you for all stages of a typical test engineering interview process at FAANG and Tier-1 companies

Initial Technical Screening

  • Involves a coding round and a discussion of your past projects.

Behavioral Round

  • Questions related to your job experience
  • Discussions on past projects
  • Open-ended questions to gauge if you're a "good fit”

Onsite: 3-4 Rounds

  • 1-2 General Coding Rounds: Coding rounds spanning arrays, linked lists, sorting and searching, recursion, trees, and graphs.
  • 1 Domain Round: Candidates may be asked to write test cases for a program or to create a test plan for an application.

Interview Kickstart (IK) provides you a solid platform to not only strengthen your algorithm and interview game, I've had the pleasure of meeting some of the best/brightest minds in the industry (Faculty and students included). It was a humble experience, to say the least.
