Software Engineer Interview Experience - United States

Process

I had a phone interview with Microsoft after being recommended by a representative at the career fair at my school. The reception was really bad on the recruiter's end, which made the conversation a bit difficult. She asked general questions about why I chose CS, and I thought I did a pretty good job of answering, but never heard back, and didn't even get a response to my follow-up email.
