Interview
I got my interview from winning a hackathon. So the interview was less of an interrogation and more of a conversation with my manager. They asked me about my hack and how I saw it being used in future.
My manager ended with asking me a bit about the skills I want to develop during my 8 months.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Microsoft (La Jolla, CA) in Jan 2019
Interview
Above average difficulty phone screening. Typical behavioral questions were asked in addition to design questions and light technical questions. What caught me off guard was the extent of the technical questions. I had mostly been studying for design at this point. The recruiter did not give me feedback at the end and seemed to want to grill me very hard on my technical knowledge. she would always follow up with deeper questions.
