I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (San Francisco, CA) in Jun 2015
Interview
The interview process at Xamarin has many steps. It began with an introductory (half an hour) phone call. I was then given a take home test, simulating customer questions. Concurrently, I had a technical phone interview scheduled. The technical phone interview went over some basics of programming and mobile development. The next steps were as the following: an in person interview with management, then an additional in person with upper management.

Question 1
What is the difference between an object and a class?
Good coordination overall and easy going.
Recruiters were good and well versed
One of the final interviewer was really rude and looked down on the candidates. Others were good
Also it would be better to include expectations beforehand.
