Software Developer Interview Experience - Vancouver, British Columbia
Process
A recruiter contacted me after finding my resume online. She suggested two positions on the kernel team and the search team. After I agreed, a phone interview was scheduled. It took about 30-40 minutes.
The recruiter was very positive. Nothing was particularly difficult. There were experience questions, generic C knowledge, and a couple of brainteasers.
One of the questions asked which Microsoft products I used and how I would improve them. I hadn't used any extensively, so I mumbled something about plugins and that was it.
I received a polite "do not fit" email the next day.
