      Software Development Engineer In Test (SDET) Interview

      13 Jan 2012
      Anonymous employee
      Bellevue, WA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Bellevue, WA) in Dec 2011

      Interview

      The interviews consisted for 2 phone screens and an onsite interview. First phone-screen was with the manager of the group and focused on my experiences and some technical questions, e.g. "How would you approach testing an elevator?", "Hint: first list types of testplans you will need to write, and only then specific tests". Second phone screen was with one of the senior team members, was similar with the first one but more relaxed. After completing the phone cycle I got an email from the recruiter with invitation to come in for an in-person interview. My interview from what I head was not typical, since it started at 9AM and lasted up until 5. I met 6 interviewers. Several Senior Test leads, Development leads, developers and testers. Most interviews had "HR component" or general questions about testing and coding, with question such as: if you have a conflict with your subordinate how would you resolve it? if your product has 6 features, but your team has time to test only 5 - how would you chose which one to exclude? Core coding questions were fairly expected, and easy. The language of choice did not matter, as long as you can write psuedocode.
