I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (New York, NY) in Jan 2017
Interview
Was very difficult and long, but worth it! They asked a lot of skill and experience questions. Defintiely research before. I would look up all the skills and memorize those because that is what they want and are looking for. I think it is a great expereince to go through this interview.
Moderate leetcode question, more focus on the approach and not on the output, interviewers were very friendly and guiding along the way, discussed a lot of technical details about the project i worked on previously
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me three main components of the project that you worked on
1st round phone call with talent team. discussing experience and the roles they have in the space. Then onto some technical questions and talking about the rest of the interview process
Fast and quick but the questions were tricky. Interviewer was nice and we got along well. The interview process was efficient, and communication was clear throughout. I appreciated the professionalism and friendliness, though preparation is key for the challenging questions. Overall, a smooth experience with a supportive atmosphere.
