Process
Interviewers keep keying in their inputs. The next interviewer knows what the previous one asked and what needs to be tested.
In my case:
- The first asked for problem-solving.
- The second, design.
- The third, bug finding.
- The fourth, coding and optimization.
- The fifth, behavioral.
In short, all areas were covered well.

Redmond is a great, affordable place to live.
Cons: If you want something more different, look at venture-funded startups as soon after the Series A close as possible. There will be more room for you to do things "beyond your pay grade" at a big company and less for negative politics.
