Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - Redmond, Washington

September 29, 2024
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Very disappointed. One interviewer was from a different team (replacing another interviewer) and continued to ask questions on topics that were not very related to the position and that I am not familiar with.

Questions

One asks some very advanced features from C++ and Python.

Another two ask hardware, low-level firmware, and OS-related questions.

From totally different areas.
