There were four rounds:
- Written Round
- First Technical
- Psychometric Test
- Managerial Round
Written Round:
There was 10-10 objective question with options each from Selenium and Java. From Java maximum were programming questions. Questions were related to Access specifiers, object creation, overloading, variables and collections. Questions were tricky. So you need to concentrate well while answering.
Selenium questions were straight forward. I remember two questions only. The return type of getWindowHandles() and What is WebDriver. Other questions were very easy. Your basics need to be cleared.
Although this round is easy maximum rejection happened in this round only.
First Technical Round:
I think this is a deciding round. They have a big panel so an interviewer takes a good time to evaluate candidates. A lot of questions were asked.
- How do you run feature files parallel in Cucumber?
- How do you share states between scenarios? Write code.
- There is an Employee web table. How you will store data in a collection optimally so that retrieving details of any employee is easier.
- Write a Java program to the right rotates the elements of an array by N.
- What are the exceptions you have faced and how you resolved?
- How do you use the optimal page object model?

- They will ask many cross questions based on your answer. So drive it well.
Psychometric Round:
Psychometric tests are a standard and scientific method used to measure individuals’ mental capabilities and behavioural style. Psychometric tests are designed to measure candidates’ suitability for a role based on the required personality characteristics and aptitude (or cognitive abilities). They identify the extent to which candidates’ personality and cognitive abilities match those required to perform the role. Employers use the information collected from the psychometric test to identify the hidden aspects of candidates that are difficult to extract from a face-to-face interview.
This test will be online and no technical questions.
Managerial Round:
It had less technical more scenarios based questions.
