I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Microsoft in Oct 2014
Interview
I submitted resume in career fair, and got the on campus interview. The recruiter first asked about content on resume. Then begin writing code on write board. Takes about 45 minutes. We even speak in Chinese in the end. But didnt get on offer.
I applied through other source. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA)
Interview
was tagged by recruiting at a school career day expo (though I wasn't a student at the time, just attending), was called about 2 weeks later and since local, brought in for an all day interview that started late morning, visited each office and was asked to white board technical questions explaining my thought processes as I did it, then was also asked about my shipping products experience or other theoretical 'what would you do in such a situation' project management like situations
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
asked to create a particular algorithm for a hash table scenario. the scenario was confusing and I didn't know how to even start. was not given any clarification when asked, just told to do it. I did a regular hash table and could tell that wasn't what he wanted but he just huffed and said we were done, and went to fetch the next interviewer.
