Microsoft Explorer Intern interview questions

I was flown to Redmond for an initial dinner with a couple of former explorers. It helps to talk with them about the interview process and ask them what they look for. I had three interviews the next day with a PM, SDE and SDET.

I didn't apply - I just dropped my resume off at the Campus Career center and Microsoft contacted me a few months later, asking for a phone interview. The phone interview went great - basically probed to see how I solved problems, rather than to see how much experience I had - and I was invited to Redmond for in person interviews. It was great - they flew all the Explorer candidates out, gave us a nice hotel to stay in, and party buses to and from Microsoft campus. We had three interviews that day: one with a PM, one with an SDE, and one with an SDET.
