Microsoft Software Development Engineer In Test SDET interview questions

When you arrive after numerous phone conversations they treat you like they never heard of you. It is a disorganized mess getting you to through the interview process. Questions are repeated because interviewers are making stuff up on the spot or using stuff they think are good questions they found from others or searching the internet. Instead of being treated like an individual you are tossed into a herd of cattle and treated worse than a military recruit your first day. Most of the process is ad hoc and hurried because they need to met a goal and a deadline for some checkbox on a review form. Good luck getting a computer, desk and other equipment such as a working phone or chair in the first 60 days. You will spend the first week at work standing in line or running around campus to deal with HR and hiring requirements for badges, network access, server access. There is some sort of mock Zen environment in which asking questions in order to do a better job or improve quality will cause you to receive strange looks, derision, and generally asked to go away because you are not on the review checklist.
