Software Development Engineer In Test (SDET) Interview Experience
Process
Microsoft came to a career fair at my university, where they took my resume and chatted a bit about my projects.
Next, I heard from them for an on-campus interview in a week's time. They asked me a string question, which was pretty easy.
The next stage was an on-site interview, which consisted of four interviews back-to-back, each lasting 45 minutes. Each interview involved coding in any language I preferred and then writing test cases for the code.
Questions
