I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Microsoft
Interview
I had a phone screen that I thought went pretty well. By the end, the recruiter seemed to be hinting I'd get an onsite interview, and assured me I'd hear back from her by the next week because she knew I had a deadline coming up.
Well...2 weeks of silence went by. I emailed the person coordinating the interviews (I had no way of contacting the recruiter herself) and she said they'd get back with me ASAP.
She never got back to me. It has now been 2.5 months of silence. Why you gotta be like that, Microsoft?
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Just your standard non-technical phone screen with behavioral questions.
I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Microsoft in Sep 2016
Interview
On Campus Interview after a career fair. It was thirty minutes with a fifty fifty split between behavioural and a technical question. There is not much more to say other than the fact that no actual code was required, simple pseudocode. Also, it was a simple one to one interview that was very brief.
I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Orlando, FL) in Sep 2016
Interview
On campus interview, introduced projects on my resume, then go directly to coding problems.
The first problem is best time to by and sell stock. After a few minutes, I talk about my solution. I was not required to writing the code and directly goes to the second problem. After i finished my code, the interview think there is an easy way to solve the problem. But in the middle of introducing his idea, he admits mine was right.
