Engineering Service Engineer Interview Experience - Redmond, Washington
Process
I applied online. After one month, I received an email from HR for a phone interview. The phone interview was easy. After three weeks, I received a call from HR for an onsite interview in Seattle.
Now, everything is set to go there. I am just waiting to finish the rest of the rounds.
Questions
Mostly, everything in the resume was covered. He then asked how one can search for a file in the Windows file system using a programming language, and what happens if the file is protected.
Now, I am waiting for the onsite interview.
