Software Engineer Interview Experience - Redmond, Washington

I submitted my resume and received a half-technical/half-behavioral phone interview. I was notified that I had made it to the final round, which consisted of two technical 45-minute interviews in Redmond.
Flying out to Seattle was amazing. Microsoft covers all expenses to fly candidates out there, including hotel and stipends for food. After the interviews, I got to explore Seattle with some of the other interviewees, which was great.
