Process
I had multiple interviewers, which seemed to range from SE III to Principal in skill level. I had a lunch interview with three managers. It took all day. I was interviewed by very intelligent but very friendly people. It was a very positive experience.
Questions
One of the interviewers had me problem-solve how to protect against malicious code, which is something I wasn't very familiar with. We reasoned through various ways to protect the stack and to detect heap corruption.
