Very Difficult Interview

Interviewed Nov 2009 in Redmond, WA (took 3 weeks)

There was an on-campus interview that lasted about 30 minutes. Mostly behavioral questions. The second interview was a full day. The day started out with a presentation followed by 4 1 hour interviews that ranged from entirely behavioral to entirely technical. After our interviews they took us to lunch, gave our group a mini tour, and sent us on our way.
