Microsoft AI Development Acceleration Program interview questions

TLDR - One phone interview then went to final round featuring 1 behavioral interview and 2 behavioral/technical interviews. I interviewed in February 2023 for the Applied Science position for MAIDAP at Microsoft. I was first contacted for a phone screen about a month after applying online. The phone screen was 30 minutes and I was asked to solve a coding problem involving computing terms inside a matrix using numpy (knowledge of Linear Algebra e.g. L2-norms, vectors, matrices, was needed). After passing the phone interview I was scheduled for 3 interviews with folks at MAIDAP about 3 weeks after the phone screen. One interview was completely behavioral where I was asked questions about solving conflicts with coworkers, how I get acclimated to working with a new team etc. The other two interviews were a mix of technical and behavioral. I was asked to go into depth on past machine learning projects and discuss things like the exact architecture used, why I chose that architecture, pros and cons of my decisions, improvements to be made etc. (make sure to know your projects inside and out because some questions can be very theoretical and require deep knowledge of current ML techniques). After the technical portion there were a few standard behavioral questions e.g. solving conflicts with coworkers. The overall interview process was quick, relatively pain-free, and very satisfying. The interviewers were very friendly and it felt more like a conversation than a stressful interview. Best of luck to you!
