No Offer – Interviewed in Redmond, WA (US) Nov 2012 – Reviewed Jan 03, 2013
Interview Details
I dropped my resume in a college job fair, then got contacted for an on-campus interview. Typical HR questions followed by an easy coding question. After that I went to Redmond for full-day on site interview. 4 interviews of 1 hour in length and 1 lunch interview. It was a typical day as explained in other reviews, nothing special. All interviews started with some chat, followed by multiple technical coding questions. No advanced questions at all, I solved all problems using either a hash table or a linked list, nothing fancy. I thought I did well, no offer was a surprise.
Other than that, everything went perfectly smooth, I was well informed during the whole process, got the results in a few days.
