Software Developer Interview Experience - Seattle, Washington
Process
Everything went smoothly in terms of planning. Very good communication with the recruiter once the initial screening process started. Great accommodations and all expenses were paid.
I went through a campus interview, a phone interview, and an on-site interview. All interviews were very similar: 5 minutes of personal background and 30-55 minutes of skill tests. The interviewers were very polite and asked questions of varying difficulty, each within their own sphere.
