This guide is based on general FAANG interview practices and may not reflect specific company procedures.
FAANG companies conduct rigorous, multi-stage interviews for mid-level QA engineers to assess technical depth, problem-solving abilities, automation skills, quality mindset, and collaboration capabilities. The process emphasizes hands-on testing expertise, system thinking about quality, test design methodologies, and strong communication. Mid-level candidates are expected to own medium-sized testing projects, mentor junior testers, and drive quality initiatives independently.
