I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Microsoft (Seattle, WA)
Interview
Online application with current employee referral didn't work and some how got the second chance for the phone screening with recruiter, but recruiter didn't ask me the relevant questions. For example, they should have asked how would you interpret this data instead of how to calculate a+b.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Very hard stats questions and theory which is not relevant
Applied online and referred by friend. It's a 30 mins interview. They called in on 3 mins later than the expected time, and finished in 25 mins. No response after that, So I believe I failed.
