Software Development Engineer Interview Experience - Redmond, Washington
Process
The first round was incredibly easy; it involved describing how you would find a missing element in an array of numbers within a range. I used a hashmap.
Be prepared for the on-site interviews, as they are incredibly tiring with approximately four rounds. They take extremely good care of you, so just be prepared for a long interview process.
