      Software Development Engineer In Test (SDET) Interview

      14 Dec 2009
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Bellevue, WA
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Microsoft (Bellevue, WA) in Oct 2009

      Interview

      Had one phone interview with a developer who asked about reversing a string. Got an on-campus interview a few weeks later. Had 5 interviews with 5 different testers and team members. I was asked both testing and coding questions. The first interview was with a tester who asked me to test a safety card hanging on the wall. I was asked a linked list question during the next interview and coded on a white board. The third interview was a lunch interview. The guy seemed to be in a hurry because he asked me two easy coding questions before heading to lunch which made me more nervous. The forth interview was a higher level question about a 12 sided di and how many colors it took to color it. The last interview was with a tester who just asked a few 'get to know you' questions including why should I hire you. Overall a good experience.
