I applied online. I interviewed at Microsoft (Mountain View, CA) in Jun 2014
Interview
The interview include a telephone screening and on-site interview with 5 people from same group. The interview questions is relatively easy. The on-site interview took a day and includes lunch with one of the group members. All people asked coding questions and some of them are more focused on domain knowledge than others. I thought I have passed the interview but then the HR came back and said they have hired more experience candidates.
Straightforward technical loop overall, with strong interviewers at every stage. I genuinely enjoyed the in-depth conversations around technical challenges and algorithmic problem-solving — the entire process felt well-structured and genuinely engaging.
The interview was a long process. There was first the recruiter screen, which was followed by a 4-loop interview structure that covered technical, behavioral, and system design. The interviewers were very kind and accommodating.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft
Interview
After my application to ClipChamp - Microsoft, a recruiter reached out and scheduled my first interview. It was about basic interview questions and background analysis. After that I had my technical interview. The recruiter specifically said that I would be facing medium hacker rank questions. So I prepared accordingly. However, what I actually got was to analyse an application and re work it according to new requirements. I felt like I was set up for failure on purpose. Didn’t even hear back after that interview.
