Windows Engineer Interview Questions

242 windows engineer interview questions shared by candidates

Basic first round interview questions, no skills assessments but did go over my entire work history going back to the early 2000s, which I felt was egregious given even background checks only go up to 10 years and failed to see the relevance of it beyond what's presented on my resume.
