Software Development Engineer In Test (SDET) Interview Experience
Process
This was a very standard interview process. I received a phone screen by HR, followed by a phone screen by an engineer. Finally, I was flown out to the location for around four interviews, each lasting an hour.
There was no lunch break, as the interviews were scheduled from 1 PM to 5 PM.
