500 software engineer qa interview questions shared by candidates

Technical one was the easiest one. Went through concepts of programming. With managers it was behavioural questions like: - give a goal you have not reached yet and tell me about your action plans - tell me about a time you choose a colleague - why you choose that person and what was the outcome - tell me about a problem you couldn't solve and the actions you took - there is an sql script which is running slow. What actions you can take to check the cause - tell me about your framework - tell me about the last bug you couldn't catch - you are not coming from the same background with the person you are working with. How would you communicate? Whiteboard session was about preparing the functional tests for a payment solution. There were 4 different microservices involved.
