Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe difficulties you faced while making a project
In June, I underwent Microsoft's comprehensive interview process, which commenced with an Online Assessment (OA). Following a successful OA, the recruiter coordinated three technical interview rounds on the same day, complemented by an additional subsequent round (AA). During these interviews, I tackled a variety of data structures and algorithms (DSA) challenges, including problems such as Majority Element II and Longest Palindromic Substring. This experience allowed me to demonstrate my proficiency in solving complex programming problems and reinforced my skills in algorithmic thinking and efficient coding practices.
The Microsoft SDE interview was well-structured and focused on both technical and behavioral questions. The interviewers were friendly and encouraging, creating a comfortable atmosphere. The problems were challenging yet relevant, allowing me to demonstrate my coding and critical thinking skills effectively.
