On applying online, got an email for 1 hr technical screen via zoom. There were 2 interviewers on the interview, one is a director for quality management and other was a sr. qa I believe. Started off by discussing about my work experience. They interrupted me saying that I descriping the overall qa process but they are not getting clear picture of what I exactly test. I explained as well as I could about what applications I test at my current job but they got never satisfied. Negative comments on everything I spoke. When I spoke about the challenging project they asked me describe, they replied that doesn't sound challenging to them. At a point I was totally turned off by their attitude. I wonder if they seriously looking to hire at all. They need someone more than QA, not sure what.

Phone screen where standard technical questions are asked. They do grill you a bit to get a good understanding of your experience. Once that is complete, they bring you in for the in person where the questions are similar and you are also grilled a bit more. They even asked me to present a bit of my experience on the whiteboard. After getting an email that the interview went well, I get the impression that I will likely get an offer after meeting with the CEO. The recruiter was a real nice guy, very friendly. However, he does not prepare you for the style the CEO will be interviewing you with. I walk into the interview and he asks me "What is your life story?" I am immediately taken back by this question. I mean it is 2019, why is this being asked in an interview? I answer it as best as I can but then he says "You are a man of few words and I want to know what makes you, you?" At this point I am a bit annoyed. These are personal questions. Ask me questions related to my job and skills, why am I being interrogated by how I answer your personal questions? It was almost like my life story sounded like "BS" to him so he wanted me to open up more. I then open up some more. At this point he starts talking about the Steve Jobs rule of managing and how you hire people to tell you what to do. Or you hire Chefs and not Bakers. I didn't come to hear a lecture on running a startup. I came to answer questions pertaining to the job. Every time I talked about my job experience, he did not want to hear it. Probably because he is not very tech savvy or is ignorant as to what the importance of a QA Analyst entails. I asked a question about management style, then he destroys my questions saying he believes in "Leaders" only. The only intent behind the question was to determine whether anyone believes in micro managing. He comes across as unprofessional and arrogant (quite full of himself) If you get to that stage of the interview, be prepared for out of left field questions.
