Software Engineer Interview Experience - Albany, New York
Process
The interview was 30 minutes long. I did not do a self-introduction and went straight to coding. ORZ.
I only solved one problem.
Five minutes were allocated for asking questions. Actually, I wanted to ask about salary, but, you know, I needed to focus on other aspects first.
Then, I asked some product-related questions about the Surface Book. The interviewer was nice and patient. He gave me quite a lot of hints and assisted me with my thinking process.

Compensation is above average, including lots of stocks, bonuses, etc.Cons: There are some reorgs happening, but I think that's common for the IT industry, having in mind how dynamic it is.
