Software Engineer (Internship) Interview Experience - Redmond, Washington
Process
When Microsoft sends you an email saying you did well on your first-round interview, but unfortunately they do not have any spots left for the coming summer, don't take it as them just being polite.
Microsoft actually reached out to me the next fall, offering a fast-track to a final, on-site interview because of my performance the year before. I was flown to WA, stayed in a nice hotel, and had a great experience throughout the 4-5 technical interviews given.
They also give you time to socialize with the other interview candidates, which helped lessen the stressful atmosphere.
A few weeks later, I received the good news!
