Software Development Engineer In Test (SDET) Interview Experience - Vancouver, Canada
Process
I applied for the job through a recruiter.
First was a phone interview, which took around 1 hour. They asked mainly C++ questions and a few C questions as well. I was also asked why kernel development does not use C++.
Then I was invited for the onsite interview. The onsite interview had a lot of questions related to data structures and algorithms.

Seattle is a beautiful city to live.Cons: You probably hear that Microsoft is full of smart people. That is probably the case 10 years ago, or if you are in the right group. I personally work with some of the worst testers/developers. They are just plain stupid. They do not know how to design stuff. They make the wrong decisions all the time. Systems become super complicated. I am very dissatisfied with my work and the people that I work with.
