Software Development Engineer Interview Experience - Boston, Massachusetts
Process
I interviewed with Microsoft in September. I was referred by an employee, after which I had a phone screen. It was pretty straightforward.
I was put through to the final round for four 45-minute interviews. These went okay for me, but I did not end up receiving an offer. I was, however, contacted to apply for a different position instead.
