      Software Development Engineer In Test (SDET) Interview

      16 Apr 2012
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through university. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at Microsoft in Apr 2012

      Interview

      I got the interviewing by turning in my resume at a Microsoft recruiting event on-campus. From there I had an on-campus interview. Took an eternity to hear back from Microsoft and then they told me they wanted me to come up for an onsite interview in the next weeks. Translation: They take 5 months but I only have 2 weeks. After hearing that they wanted me to come onsite I probably had communications with 4 different people to organize the trip and it seemed very unorganized and confusing. All at the same time I was preparing for the onsite interview. Onsite I was treated quite well with all expenses paid however the ferrying around to different buildings for interviews just adds to the stress. As others have stated the lunch interview will be the most awkward lunch of your life so eat lite. I received 3 interviews, not a good sign, as others have stated the more interviews the better. Day later, before I even made it all the way home, got the rejection email. I asked for interview feedback but I got the canned response that it is company policy not to share feedback. Overall not really sure what they are looking for as I feel I coded the questions quite well, have the experience needed, and communicated my thought process thoroughly throughout.
