Software Development Engineer II Interview Experience - Redmond, Washington
Process
I had two technical interviews over the phone. Both technical interviews were challenging but doable. I had to write code using a web application that allowed both me and the interviewer to see what I was typing.
After those interviews, I had one more in-person interview with the hiring manager. This interview was not technical; we talked mostly about business topics.
