Software Engineer Interview Experience - Redmond, Washington
Process
I was first given an on-campus interview.
Two weeks later, I heard back from the recruiter saying that I passed the first round and set up the on-site interview for a week and a half after the call.
I was flown to Seattle and did four back-to-back interviews. All of them were technical questions, and a few were very close to what you will find in Cracking the Coding Interview.
I heard back a week after that I received an offer.
