Software Development Engineer Interview Experience - Redmond, Washington
Process
I submitted my resume to my university, had an on-campus interview, and then called to interview on-site in Redmond, WA.
They provided taxis to the interview site and shuttles from building to building.
The interviews were challenging, but the questions were fun to solve. I had the opportunity to learn a lot about one of Microsoft's major platforms.
Questions
Can't share the exact question, but the questions I haven't seen use divide and conquer, greedy algorithms, some design, and providing test cases.
