      Software Development Engineer I Interview

      19 Nov 2012
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Pomona, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Microsoft (Pomona, CA) in Nov 2012

      Interview

      On campus interview with a project manager. Talked about his experience moving from sales to software development to project management, asked typical interview questions (hardest project, teamwork problems you've had, etc.) No technical questions, although it seems like this changes from place to place. The interviewer indicated that he was not the one who decided on an outcome, but there's no way to tell for sure.

      Question 1

      Nothing difficult, just typical interview questions. If you're good at interviewing, you'll get past this part, if you aren't, then you won't. It doesn't seem like they looked at resumes / experience very much. I was expecting at least one technical question, but there were none.
