Interviewed Jan 2010 in Beijing, Beijing (China) (took a day)
I applied a internship position for a visual computing group in MSRA. The interview questions are something about multi-threading, multiple inheritance and debug approaches for multithreading. The interviewee is nice. Such as why not prefer multiple inheritance, how to debug a multithread program, and how to handle the Chinese characters in printf.
