The technical interview was direct about testing and engineering fundamentals. We discussed my automation-testing experience, C# and Python, Selenium, BDD concepts, and how those topics connected to my own projects.

The final round was with a hiring manager and focused on problem-solving, communication, and fit. I had to describe challenges I had handled and place the role in the context of real work, not merely list the tools I knew.

The difficulty felt average. It was less like a coding contest than a test of whether I could explain testing practices and apply them in a real system. I did not receive an offer, but the questions matched my stated strengths.

Location: Bengaluru. Overall feedback: negative. Offer status: no offer.
