I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Seattle, WA) in Feb 2022
Interview
There is no tech question in the first Phone Interview.
The interviewer is a recruiter, so I think she doesn't know much about the software. And she was asking me while typing something on the board, I think she is writing something about me on their system.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. Why do you start programming?
2. Tell me about the two projects you're impressed with. What kind of problem and how to solve it?
3. If you encounter problems with others in the teamwork, How to solve them?
4. The two languages you are best at, why?
5. Have you learned Algorithm, Data Structure, or OS courses before?
Three rounds. Increasing in difficulty. Final one wasn't technical at all. The other two involved multiple algorithmic and solving questions. There was one weird 2-d array question. Overall wasn't too bad.
Phone screen and then 2 online coding interviews. Phone screen was only about 30 minutes and some general questions about data structures and PM. The Online coding interview had some questions you might find in CtCI book related to PM.
