I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Microsoft
Interview
I was contacted by a recruiter via mass email which stated there was a hiring event for the Cloud OS team. The email directed me to send a reply email with my most current resume and fill out a survey which asked general questions about my education, goals, and professional (coding/project) experience.
The same recruiter called me back within two days and we chatted briefly about my career goals. After a 30 minute (non-technical) chat the recruiter invited me to take the OTS which would be a basic skills assessment on elementary concepts such as trees, linked lists, queues, etc. "some things I may not have seen in a while."
I'm not through with the process but I wanted to get this question up before I forgot it as there were not a lot of example questions online re: the OTS. I hope it helps someone else!
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
You are writing a simulation for a print server. This print server can accept jobs from 3 places - network, USB, or operator. It can dispatch only one job at a time. Each input job should contain an integer t which is the time in seconds it will take to process the job. Write a multi-threaded program to simulate the server and provide some simulated load with jobs. Think, of some interesting statistics your program should emit and code them in.
there was only one interviewer. online interview. during the interview, firstly self-introduction and introduce the team. and then behaviour questions were asked. and then leetcode question was asked. interviewer was nice
I had a recruiter phone screen followed by a coding assessment, which I cleared. The questions were manageable. The overall experience was smooth, the interviewer is friendly, and currently waiting for the final interview loop.
