      Software Development Test Engineer Interview

      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Microsoft

      Interview

      I went to a career fair in the beginning of the fall semester talking to all the different Tech Companies who came and I went to Microsoft's table on a whim. I handed them my paper resume and didn't think anything about it being a sophomore not worrying too much about internship opportunities yet. At the end of December, I randomly received an email from a recruiter saying they wanted a phone interview with me. This took me off guard. I hadn't even applied online. I applied, did my phone interview where they asked me some brain teasers and low-level tech questions. Two days later my recruiter called me to tell me they wanted me to fly out to Seattle for an on-site interview! My interview was set for a month later and I flew out to have 5 one hour long interviews back to back. I really had a lot of fun with it. Although, it was extremely tiring. Then, Microsoft paid for us to explore Seattle and to get a feel for what the summer would be like if we got an offer.
