Enterprise Architect Interview Experience - Washington, District of Columbia
Process
Excellent communication and a great experience. I had submitted my resume online a while ago and was contacted out of the blue for their Enterprise Architecture position.
The experience overall took about 1 month to offer and then an additional 2-3 weeks to the start date.
It can be nerve-wracking as you wait to progress through each stage. Definitely practice if you can with someone who has gone through it. There are a ton of nuances that you may not be aware of as an outsider.
Make sure you are Microsoft-branded, i.e., you don't "Google" something, you "Bing" it, and try to minimize non-Microsoft in your background.
This is a competitive, take-no-prisoners company that is out to destroy the competition. Know what you are getting into.
