Process

My skill sets match perfectly with their wireless system jobs, but I was selected for a software position interview. I have a feeling that either their HR department isn't doing its job or they are bluffing on their career website.

Regardless, I have 6 technical interviews scheduled: 4 from the group I am interviewing with and 2 from outside engineers. The questions are typical CS questions. They value skill sets rather than potential. I guess only Microsoft will consider people from Mechanical or Philosophy majors as SDEs.
