Process

After the primary, in-person interview at my college, I was flown to Redmond, WA with all expenses paid for a round of on-site interviews.

There were 5 interviewers, and each person was prompt, ensured I had everything necessary to begin the interview, and polite throughout the entire process.

Although the questions ranged from behavioral to analytical, help was provided throughout the entire process.

Overall, the process was extremely streamlined, from initial communication to the end of the interview day, with perks like taxi vouchers and dinner budgets. This was the best interview logistics I have ever had.

Questions

The most difficult questions are the technical ones, where interviewers ask candidates to solve real-life problems and write software code during the interview.
