I had a phone screen with the hiring manager. I thought it went well and it took nearly 3 weeks before they decided to bring me on for face to face. So I was initially going to have a interview with the release manager and 2 QA peers. The interview actually consisted of one BA and the release manager.
I did not prepare for a BA interview and the BA at Top Golf asked me BA related questions which I answered to the best of my knowledge. The hiring manager asked this BA to be part of the process and the BA according to LinkedIn, has only been on the job for 5 months. So that BA line of questions lasted 5 minutes then the release manager asked me more QA related questions.
I rated this interview difficult just because I was not prepared to answer BA questions. This position as I have found out during my interview requires some BA work. Another caveat is they do not have formal SDLC processes in place. So it may be a blessing that I did not come on board to work in this environment.
They sell you on the company and candidates are intrigued by cool office, Vari-desk stand up desks, free beer (after 4 Pm), the casual dress code, and free vending. I know several people that worked here and left because of the amount of work they had to do that was outside their current role. That is probably why they always have openings for this role and why they cant keep good talent.
It would have been informative if I received feedback regarding my interview which they never provided to me or through my recruiting agency. My recruiting agency submitted 3 candidates and none received feedback. The way I found out that I may not have received this role is Top Golf informing my recruiting firm that they made offers to candidates placed through another recruiting firm. I think that is poor business practice in my opinion.
