714 microsoft interview questions shared by candidates

The technical content of the interview itself was challenging but reasonable for the role. However, the most difficult part was not the questions themselves, but the manner in which they were asked. The interviewer’s style felt more like cross-examination by a lawyer than a professional discussion. His tone was highly intimidating, at times even sarcastic, and seemed focused on making the candidate fail rather than encouraging or motivating clear responses. This approach created unnecessary stress and distracted from what could have been a fair evaluation of my skills and experience.

I was given a lot of whiteboarding questions and asked to solve for given scenarios. I was also challenged in detail on items I put in my resume. Anything in your resume is fair game, so expect someone to drill down to the lowest possible level of detail to test to see if you actually know what you're talking about.
