Software Development Engineer Interview Experience - Redmond, Washington
Process
One non-technical phone interview from a recruiter.
Four rounds of interviews for onsite.
Three people are grouped together, interviewing with the same four interviewers.
The questions are easy. My friend told me they ask easy questions to make you feel good during interviews if they don't want you. However, one interviewer told me that they try to ask questions of the same difficulty to make comparisons.
They don't provide feedback to you anyway.
Questions
I think all the questions are not hard.
