I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Microsoft (New York, NY) in Dec 2014
Interview
Talked through the phone, asked behavioral questions and one technical question. Interviewer was a developer himself so the conversation went smooth. We talked about my programming languages preferences, and he decided to go in depth with C.
He asked me trivial questions about memory management and garbage collection, explain a computational concept to a youngling, and then we talked a lot about their work environment. The interview was very positive and relaxed overall.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Given 9 marbles that look the same but one weights slightly more, and a scale you can only use twice, how can you find out which marble is the heavier one?
I have applied in November. The first round interview is in February, I have received email one week before the interview. It is a group interview and all are university students.
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Microsoft
Interview
Terrible, seemed like she did not want to be there. The questions were hard for saying no experience needed and she was not very engaging. Overall after the interview the culture of the company was not a fit for me. Great company just not for me.
