Software Development Engineer Interview Experience - Dublin, Ireland
Process
I applied online for a Graduate position.
Initially, I was set up for a phone interview with HR. The interview consisted of some behavioral questions and basic technical questions.
It was followed by a technical interview with an engineer.
Then, I was flown to Dublin for on-site interviews. The questions were mostly technical. Nothing was too hard.
After that, I was set up for another phone interview with an engineer in Redmond.
A week later, I got the response. I didn't get the offer because they don't have enough openings.
Questions
No fancy questions. Most of them are already on this site, e.g., reverse a linked list, reverse words.

Additionally, I haven't been forced to work nights or weekends once in my entire career.Cons: I don't really like living in Redmond, and there aren't too many opportunities to work in other cities if you are a technical engineer.
- 1.0Worst software job of my careerSoftware Development Engineer • Former EmployeeRedmond, Washington, United StatesAugust 28, 2014Pros: Health insurance, dental, and vision benefits were very good. Free coffee and soda were provided. The cafeteria offered good food.Cons: Lots of corporate politics, a cumbersome and frustrating review process, and it was impossible to change positions if you were struggling in the one you were in. I ended up fixing other people's bugs for two years, working on mostly legacy code. My manager was a jerk. The commute also sucked. Quitting was the best decision I ever made.
