1,212 senior software test engineer interview questions shared by candidates

Recruiter called and after getiing to know my skills, roles and responsibilties he arranged for a telephonic round. Telephonic interview lasted for about 30 minutes. On the same day HRcalled and said that telephonic round feedback is positive and he took a date from me to schedule F2F. He told me that there will be about 4 rounds of F2F .On the scheduled F2F date, I reached their bangalore office . After around 20minutes of waiting one person who was QA Lead there came to meet. Interview questions started from Selenium based like how to identify non unique objects in a table, then asked how will u validate two different unlinked pages, Then he moved on to Java, here he asked how to check if a string is palindrome,then he asked to merge 2 arrays and sort that , Almost all OOPS concepts he asked . I answered almost all the questions of Java and selenium. Then he said he is done with the interview and told me to wait, It lasted for about 1 hour.I was pretty happy about the interview. After about 25 mins of waiting , HR came and said that feedback is negative because of SQL(I told that I know only basics of SQL in the interview). No where in the Job description was mentioned SQL as mandatory skill and he was saying that because SQl is needed i thought Ae you kidding me one can learn SQL in 1week I just left the venue and did not even responded to the 'Thanks for coming' of HR. I was really shocked to know candidates are rejected for not knowing the thing is not even mentioned in the JD. I took half day leave for the interview which i felt as mistake :) My suggestion would not go to this company which seems to take interview just for fun (will give ypu some bizzare reasons for rejection).
