Process

I was expedited to the final round and interviewed in Redmond.

The hotel was really nice, and they gave me a healthy stipend for food and sightseeing, so I had a great time.

There was a big group of interviewees for both software and finance positions, and we all went to get lunch beforehand, which was nice to relieve the tension.

You typically get four back-to-back interviews, but since one of my interviewers was out for the day, my cohort only got three. I was concerned that it would impact my chances, but they assured me it would be fine.

My interviewers were experienced and kind, which left a very strong impression.

Questions
