There were 4 rounds in total.
1. Technical Round:
This was the first level, where questions were asked on Java and Selenium. They did not ask about API or mobile testing in this round.
2. Assignment Round:
After clearing Round 1, they conduct a drive for the subsequent rounds on a single day (usually Saturday). In this round, you and other participants join a call where the interviewer explains the problem statement. After that, each person receives instructions and then moves to a separate breakout room to work independently for about 2 hours.
During my assessment, the problem was to automate several processes on an e-commerce website: search for a product, sort results, assert whether sorting is correct, apply filters, and then assert that all products shown fit within the filter criteria.
3. Technical Round 3 with Engineering Manager (EM):
If you pass Round 2, you move to a 30-minute discussion with the Engineering Manager. One thing I found odd was that although BrowserStack shares topics for each round to help candidates prepare, Round 3 did not stick to those topics. The interviewer asked questions that were not relevant to my role or my opening. Even though I answered the majority of questions, the interviewer focused more on those I couldn’t answer. For example, I generated 14–15 test cases across different testing types, but the interviewer was only interested in the one type I didn’t cover.
Perhaps this was just my experience, but it felt strange. Ultimately, I did not make it past this round.
4. Director Round:
This round was mainly for cultural fit and other non-technical aspects.
Overall, the experience was positive. The first two rounds were tough but enjoyable due to engaging discussions. However, Round 3 was a departure from the rest of the process.
Another thing that bothered me was that the HR suddenly stopped responding. I attempted to get an official update several times over the day after Round 3, but there was no email, and calls were not answeredHR immediately ghosted me.
So, I had to assume on my own that I was no longer in consideration.
