Applied for a test engineer in January. Received a call from HR in February saying that the position that I had applied to was filled, but there was another open position. The first was a timed assessment. Then, I had to retake the same assessment with the HR was watching me on FaceTime (felt this was the dumbest thing I had ever done). The next week was a telephonic interview. Questions were mostly technical - SQL queries and Selenium basics. Had a F2F scheduled for the following week. Three rounds of interview, each lasting 45 minutes. Completely behavioral except for two technical questions - SQL Inner join and Selenium xpath, selectors. None of the people interviewing me knew why I was there. They had a restructure of the QA team on Wednesday and here I was on the following Tuesday with no vacant position. Seems my interview was emailed before Wednesday and that's why was there in the first-place. Had to follow up with the HR and she said they were not considering me. Reasons - They felt I wasn't interested in Relias, the position nor the teams. Found this answer to be ridiculous. Thanked her for the feedback and moved on with my job search.

I had an overall positive interview experience. Scheduling was easy and accommodating, and communication times were reasonable. I was moving to NC and remote for some of the process but that didn't introduce any problems. In-person interviews did a good job of assessing my technical ability and how my personality and communication style would gel with the team.
