Software Development Engineer In Test (SDET) Interview Experience - Seattle, Washington
Process
Very well-organized interview process.
Went through 4 back-to-back interviews. They asked pretty challenging questions and liked to see your thought process when answering, so make sure you explain out loud what you are thinking.
You knew your result at the end of the interviews, which was really nice; there was no waiting period.
Questions
Under NDA, I can't say. Know your different test cases and brush up on coding (Strings, arrays, linked lists, etc.).
