<Before the Interview>
I was invited to two 45 minute back-to-back interviews with Microsoft software engineers from two different teams at Microsoft in Redmond, WA about a week after I submitted application.
<First Interview>
The interviewer introduced himself and told me about his team, and asked me about myself, past school and work experience. Then, he asked me some behavioral questions, one system design question, and some questions about data structures, and a whiteboard question at the end. Interviewer was friendly and kindly rephrased his questions whenever I asked him to repeat to understand them better.
<Second Interview>
Similar to the first interview, the interviewer introduced himself and told me about his team, and asked me about myself, past school and work experience. Then, he asked me how I started learning coding and which stack I was interested in (ex. front-end, back-end, and full-stack), and one whiteboard question that was tricky at first. But the interviewer walked me through the problem, it was fun and I really enjoyed solving problem with the interviewer. At the end I was about to solve the problem.
<Any Thoughts>
Overall, I had a very positive interview experience with both interviewers. They weren't there to scare me. They were there to help me and learn more about me. Thank you both!
