Software Engineering Interview Experience - Redmond, Washington
Process
I started with an on-campus interview at my school.
After that, I was invited to fly to Seattle for on-site interviews.
When I was on-site, I had four interviews, one of which was a lunch interview.
Each interview was one hour long and included a technical question.
The lunch interview had one hour for lunch, which was very casual, followed by a technical interview.
It was an enjoyable experience.
You interview with one team, but you may not necessarily be placed in that team.
At the end, your recruiter checks in with you, and you can ask any questions.
