Computer Engineer/Architect Interview Experience - Seattle, Washington
Process
The interview process was tedious. The technical interview was very easy. Thoughtful senior management asked questions, but mid-management seemed hurried. All interviews were completed via Teams or online. One interview was rescheduled three times. I declined the offer as I was promoted and received a pay raise at my current job. A move to Microsoft therefore made no sense.
