I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at AKQA Leap (Chinawal) in Jan 2025
Interview
The interview covered standard technical questions related to my experience and previous roles. I was asked about my past projects, responsibilities, and contributions as a software tester. While the discussion remained within the expected scope of my expertise, I took the opportunity to highlight my problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and ability to work collaboratively with development teams to ensure software quality and reliability
I applied online. I interviewed at AKQA Leap in Jan 2025
Interview
One of the best interview experiences I've had so far. It started with an alignment interview to learn about my experience and also understand the company and the role. This was followed by a more technical interview to dig deeper into my experience, skills and aspirations (focused mostly on probing into my cv and also addressing technical case scenarios). The final stage was a mix of technical discussions like system design tradeoffs, security, testing approaches, open source contributions e.t.c . All the interviewers displayed great professionalism and the interview atmosphere was always calm and relaxed.
