Microsoft Software Development Engineer interview questions

I got the Microsoft campus interview after a job fair. The recruiter contacted me and arranged the interview. I spent about 10 days studying algorithms to prepare for the interview. However, the actual interview last only 30 minutes. I was asked the following question "design an oven for me" and some other behavioral and open-end questions. I didn't have the chance to show my programming skills. Advice: be well prepared for behavioral questions, you might not have the chance to do coding in a short 30-minute interview.

two words: rigorous and stressful! In one of the several 1:1 I felt as I am being interviewed by a genius, a person of inhuman intelligence. Not only I didn't know the answer, I could barely understand the questions. And BTW, as interviewer confided later, the answer to his question wasn't known even to him, it was an unsolved computer science problem, and he hasn't really expected that I'll come up with an instant solution :)
