Software Development Engineer In Test (SDET) Interview Experience
Process
This is an on-campus interview I got weeks after the job fair held at my school.
There was one easy coding problem and some other behavioral questions during the interview.
The coding question was to implement the insertion process of a binary search tree.
After the implementation, the interviewer asked about the worst-case and best-case scenarios for the insertion method.

Microsoft Work Experiences
- 1.0Management culture at MS makes for caustic work environmentsSoftware Development Engineer In Test (SDET) • Current EmployeeRedmond, Washington, United StatesSeptember 8, 2011Pros: Some genuinely interesting technology, and most ICs I work with want to make the best product they can. Great benefits package, pay is average.Cons: Management (in general) can make for some truly caustic work environments, sucking all the joy and morale out of groups. I've seen some talented people in management who strive to improve their groups, but they are the exception, not the rule. Yeah, this sounds cliché, but areas of MS can make Dilbert look prophetic.
