I received a phone call from a recruiter saying they were interested in hiring me for the Software Dev QA Engineer position. Over the process, the recruiters were very supportive and tried their best to prepare me for the exam and interview. A week later I took an online exam which consisted of aptitude questions, Linux command questions, a routing question, and 2 database questions. I had 1 hour to do the exam and I barely finished on time. The following week I was scheduled for an interview with the team lead and 3 other team members. When asked about what to expect from the interview, I was told it would be a conversational interview where we would discuss my skills and experience, some of the projects I worked on, my knowledge about the company and it's products, and talk a little bit about my technical skills such as scripting and basic routing protocols. The interviewers did not seem very interested in hearing about my experiences and the types of projects I've worked on, as they were more focused on my technical knowledge. I even showed them my portfolio and tried to explain my roles and tasks but they told me not to go in to too much detail and just give a brief summary. In all honesty, I think the team was looking for someone who could speak their language so that they could easily communicate as they were discussing things in their language during the interview and had difficulty trying to explain the questions to me.
