Software Development Engineer In Test (SDET) Interview Experience - New Zealand
Process
Stage 1: Phone interview
Stage 2: Four rounds of 45-minute in-person technical interviews.
Each consisted of:
- A brief chat about me
- A coding question
- Another brief chat
- Time for questions
Between each interview, the engineers would meet and discuss the candidates. Meanwhile, we went back to a room where we were told about the benefits of working with the company and things about the city we would be moving to if hired. I used the time walking from the interview room back to the contact room for enthusiastic, non-Microsoft, non-coding-related banter.
