The interview process for the Junior QA Engineer position at Veeam spanned approximately one and a half months and was thoughtfully structured into three main stages, each designed to assess both technical knowledge and analytical thinking in a supportive environment. First Interview – Online Test & In-Depth Discussion The journey began with a one-hour online test, followed by a detailed discussion with a QA Team Leader. During this conversation, I was asked about Linux and Windows system administration, and also to design test cases for specific scenarios. Take-Home Assignment – Practical Networking Task After progressing through the first round, I received a take-home task focused on testing the behavior of DHCP and DNS servers. I was given ample time and resources to prepare, allowing me to tackle the task thoroughly and confidently. Second Interview – Technical Networking Focus The next stage was a one-hour technical interview, primarily covering DNS, DHCP, and subnetting. This round built upon the take-home task, delving deeper into the underlying protocols and configurations. Final Interview – Panel with Team Leaders The final round was a two-hour panel interview with three QA Team Leaders. It revisited previous topics, including Linux/Windows administration, DNS, DHCP, and subnetting, and also featured brain teasers and basic math questions to evaluate my problem-solving process. Just like in the first interview, I was again asked to design test cases for specific features and edge cases. Throughout the process, communication with HR was excellent — they remained in regular contact via email, responding promptly to any questions and ensuring a smooth experience. What stood out most was the friendly and relaxed atmosphere created by the QA Team Leaders during the interviews. Their approach helped me feel at ease and allowed me to perform at my best without unnecessary stress.

It was a four step interview process. The first step was a technical take home task for initial screening. I was asked to estimate the number of mechanical scales in the Czech Republic and to describe tests I would run on an electric scooter before it would be released for use. After the technical task I was invited to the second stage, which had two parts. The first part was an online questionnaire with the HR representative. It included questions about networking, logic puzzles, general Windows/Linux knowledge, and a section where I had to describe a comprehensive testing process for a household scale. The second part of that stage was a discussion with a team lead. Mainly focusing on the household scale testing task and turned into an engaging back and forth conversation about my approach and reasoning. After that, I was invited to a 30 minute technical preparedness interview, This focused exclusively on networking topics like DHCP, DNS, subnet masks, DNS records and other related concepts. The final step was a two hour interview with three team leads consisting of three parts. One team lead focused on logic puzzles, another on networking, and another on QA. The team leads and the HR representative were very nice throughout the entire process. I got the impression that the company is friendly and welcoming. Overall, although a four step process was naturally anxiety inducing, the interviews themselves were very enjoyable and well structured.
