J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 3 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Microsoft en oct. 2016
Entretien
I had the initial phone screen and got rejected 3 weeks later. They asked me a series of behavioral questions, and one logic puzzle (fruits and baskets with wrong labels).
I am surprised and disappointed in the rejection because I feel that I'm a strong candidate (had final round interviews with very competitive companies). I solved the brain teaser and felt I did a decent job on the behavioral aspect. However, my interviewer was NOT a technical person, so she couldn't answer any of the more technical oriented questions I asked at the end. I remember my interview only lasted about 20 minutes. She ended my interview before I could think of more questions to ask. I am very confident that if I had a technical person interview me, they'd have a way better understanding of my skill set.
Needless to say I won't be applying to Microsoft again.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Three baskets. One has apples, one has oranges, one has both. They are all labeled incorrectly. Find out which basket contains which with only 1 draw.
It started with a 90-minute online assessment, followed by a technical phone screen with one engineer. The OA covered two medium-to-hard algorithm problems. For coding practice, I mainly rely on "LeetCode" to cover different topics. For company-specific interview preparation, I use "Hack2Hire", "LeetCode Discuss", and "1Point3Acres" to find any recent original questions. All of them are helpful platforms. The phone screen included one coding problem and some discussion around edge cases and time complexity.

Entretien
I was invited to a technical interview with Microsoft. The interviewer started with a general question: “What happens when you type google.com into your browser?” They asked a few follow-up questions related to that.
After that, they gave me a LeetCode algorithmic question, which was at a hard level. The problem was “Integer to English Words.”

Three tech interviews + one hiring manager VO, most of questions are medium to hard leetcode questions. Ask some questions about techniques you written on the resume. But I think they care more about the match of the research and the job.
