Software Engineer Interview Experience - Redmond, Washington
Process
I got the interview through a recruiter. The entire process took almost 45 days. Initially, I received a coding challenge, followed by a call with the recruiter.
Finally, there was a 4-round loop. All rounds were one-to-one interviews taken by Indians.
The first two rounds went well, but the last round felt as if the interviewer was totally disinterested in the interview process itself. It felt unprofessional, and it seemed like everyone was sharing the interview notes with each other.
