Software Development Engineer Interview Experience - Redmond, Washington
Process
One on-campus interview during the recruiting season was followed by contact roughly a week afterward. I was invited to onsite interviews, and travel and housing were taken care of quickly and painlessly.
The interviews were all technical in nature with a small behavioral component. Microsoft is quite generous with reimbursements and they highly encourage you to go out and explore the area while you're there, given that you can stay for up to three days and two nights.
I had an awesome time. All the interviewers were extremely friendly and all seemed genuinely interested in talking about the previous projects I've worked on.
