      Director of Sales Interview

      Anonymous employee
      San Francisco, CA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (San Francisco, CA) in Jan 2014

      Interview

      Working with the Xamarin recruiting team was the best recruiting process I have experienced. They were always crystal clear with next steps, highly responsive, and transparent of how far into the interview process I was. Anytime I had a question, I was comfortable reaching out to the recruiter or the hiring manager and they were always quick to respond.
