      Senior Hardware Engineer Interview

      Oct 4, 2019
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Seattle, WA
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Microsoft (Seattle, WA)

      Interview

      I had phone screens with them twice, for two different teams. The interviewers were polite and friendly. I wouldn't say there were tough questions. One of them had a one hour Verilog coding exercise. I was asked about clock-domain crossing, serializer-deserializer FSM kind of questions. You need to get the FSM right. You can track your interview progress via your online account( action center). They generally update the status there. If you're not selected, your application will be moved to archive.

      Question 1

      Non-trivial sender-receiver type of coding problem.

      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (New York, NY) in Aug 2023

      Interview

      I got a call from HR that my resume shortlisted and got invitation. There were two round scheduled. First round went really well. Second round I joined but interviewer didn't make up. I requested followup reshedule on interview availability but there is no response HR keep says we are finding slot but never happened. its more than a month but HR/Recuiter didn't say anything whether interview will take forward or not. This is very unprofessional, I understand the busyness but its always good comeback with data in a min time frame on interview process Didn't expect with big MNCs
