Colloquio
Met during career fair, then interviewed on campus the following day with two people. The interviewers focused on making sure that I was qualified for the role and excited to join the company. Heard back a few weeks later that I was invited to interview at the company's HQ in Vienna, VA. Interviewed ~5-7 people (too many to count!) and a group of new-hires took me out to lunch. All-in-all a good experience, even though I turned them down for a better offer - it was a tough choice. Biggest downside is the location, I'm not a fan of DC and the surrounding area. Would recommend applying if interested in entry-level QA.

There are 3 switches, one of which operates a light bulb behind a closed door. Before opening the door, you may flip one, two, or three switches. However, once you open the door, you may not touch the light switches again. How can you be sure which switch controls the light bulb?

Colloquio
Began with a very inviting phone screener. Quick response to schedule a 30 minute MS Teams interview that consisted of a mix of background information and exercises like "how would you test a pencil". Quick response again to schedule a 3.5 hour in-person interview gauntlet where I met with 4 people that gave assessments which were centered around running tests, ranking the priority of bugs, and the software development cycle. Overall good experience, but I was a bit caught off guard by the number of assessments during the final in person interview. I expected at least a 30 minute tour sprinkled somewhere in a 3.5 hour visit.

Colloquio
There was an initial phone screen, team member interview, hiring manager interview. There might have been an on-site interview if I had been selected past that point. Mostly behavioral/resume questions and a puzzle/test plan question.
