Process

After sending my resume, I was contacted by an HR representative to schedule an initial phone interview to go through my resume. After an hour's talk, she sent me another email to schedule a technical interview.

It took about two weeks until the phone interview, where I was asked questions about design and C coding.

Afterwards, I received an email stating I would be interviewed at Redmond and was given a list of recommended reading. The books recommended were good, though a couple of those were too technically deep. It's better to practice your data structures knowledge.

In person, I went through four interviews plus lunch, all of which lasted about an hour each. At the end, other candidates and I met with a high-level executive and received an offer.

Questions
