Software Development Engineer In Test (SDET) Interview Experience - Redmond, Washington
Process
Smooth and simple. Everyone was very polite, and HR was easy to communicate with. I'd do it all over again in a heartbeat.
On-site also went decently well (although I've heard horror stories from others).
Interviewees had plenty of perks to help them relax and free food. Interviewees were also given the chance to explore Seattle.
Questions
Nothing scary.
Standard brainteasers and behavioral questions, with some simple coding any student should be able to do.
