      Software Development Engineer In Test (SDET) Interview

      28 Feb 2013
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Redmond, WA
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA) in Feb 2013

      Interview

      I initially applied at Microsoft in late November, I received an email offering me a phone interview by the beginning of December, and I then had my phone interview on December 17. I heard back from them again on January 20 that I had been chosen to fly up to Seattle for an in person interview, which was then scheduled for February 25. So altogether the process took roughly 3 months from application to in person interview.

      Interview questions [4]

      Question 1

      Write a program takes in a string and a delimiter, and uses that delimiter to split a string and then will reverse the characters in every word (or jumble of characters between the delimiters), stuffing them back into a string when finished. ('The dog walks' becomes..... 'ehT god sklaw')
      4 Answers

      Question 2

      Write a program that reads in a string and prints the character once it has been found to have duplicates (2 or more). The program should only print the character once, not every time a duplicate is found. The program should be faster than O(n^2).
      1 Answer

      Question 3

      Write a program that takes in a string and removes any duplicate spaces (including leading and trailing spaces – there should be none when finished). This program should not have any embedded loops, and you can only traverse the string ONCE. Should definitely be faster than O(n^2).
      1 Answer

      Question 4

      Write a program that multiplies 2 numbers (integers, floats, etc), without using the multiplication operator.
