Software Development Engineer Interview Experience - Seattle, Washington
Process
Interviewed onsite at Seattle. The questions were very easy. I received an offer after 1 day. The entire process was quick, but the offer was quite low, and the team was not ready to negotiate. I declined the offer. Please do not waste your time if you are a strong candidate, as there are many companies that pay significantly better than Microsoft.
