      Software Development Engineer In Test (SDET) Interview

      11 Jan 2012
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Redmond, WA
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA) in Dec 2010

      Interview

      A recruiter came to my college campus and conducted an on campus interview. This interview was fairly simple, he asked me to talk about a project I had done and then asked me to write a method in java that determines whether a given string is a palindrome. Then a few weeks later they flew me out to Redmond, where I ended up doing 4 interviews. Three of them were fairly simple and one was pretty difficult because it involved writing a program on a whiteboard that involved multithreading. Overall, if you are prepared and confident, you'll do fine.
