Interview
I applied the role of SE online in February. I received phone interviews after a few days. Two rounds of phone interviews, then onsite at Tysons Corner, VA in March. Six rounds of onsite interview with two groups from different departments. I have to say that every interviewers are very very kind and nice! I received oral offer on the next day of onsite, and paper offer after three days. It takes no more than 1 month from when I applied online to get offer, the process is so good and recruiters reply very soon!
