Senior Software Development Engineer Interview Experience - Redmond, Washington
Process
The hiring process takes two weeks and is standard, with nothing out of the ordinary.
They flew me up from the Bay Area in San Francisco, CA.
The questions are mainly technical and pretty simple. Most managers don't remember some of the stuff themselves.
However, be prepared with some of your projects, technical terms, and processes.
