Software Development Engineer Interview Experience - Redmond, Washington

December 1, 2010
Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The whole process was pretty swift. There was a first interview in college, after which they offered me an on-site interview. They were pretty flexible with scheduling the interview and also took care of travel and hotel expenses.

The actual interview lasted one day. First, I went to the recruiting center where I met my recruiter and talked to him for a while. Then, I took the shuttle and was off to my first interview.

The interviewer asked various questions; some were related to APIs, some were related to my earlier experience, and some were general problem-solving questions. I had four different interviews that day, and that pretty much was it.

After that, I came back to the recruiter's office and talked with my recruiter again. The next day, they told me their decision.
