it was less than 20min they asked if i did certain courses like data structures and algorithm. they asked more than once about projects i worked on and how i handled it
I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Microsoft (Seattle, WA) in Jan 2021
Interview
Got an OA in which I had to solve 3 Leet Code problems in 90 minutes. Wasn't horrible but I wasn't great at all of these data structures and algorithms problems so I didn't pass.
Applied on their portal, and within about a week got an email asking me to schedule an interview and take an online coding assessment.
The coding assessment isn't too bad, 2 easy questions and 1 medium.
The interview goes a bit more in-depth about my history with programming and previous projects worked on, asks you to explain a core programming / OS concept, and finally asks you to solve a brain-teaser/riddle style problem unrelated to coding.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Explain what multi-threading is and why it's useful.
