      Intern - Computer/Hardware Engineer Interview

      Oct 12, 2011
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Microsoft in Oct 2011

      Interview

      We used Microsoft Lync to start the interview. Started off well with a very friendly, but highly experienced (25 yrs exp.) interviewer who told me about himself. And then, when he started with questions, everything fell apart. He asked me why I wanted to do software coding for hardware and then cut me in the middle to ask a programming question, which I answered. It was a tic tac toe win checker. He switched topics to software design process and asked which ways are used to get requirements of a system. He cut me in the middle to end the interview saying he had another interview in few minutes and he wanted to make notes and get a minute gap. :-( Not a nice experience, absolutely :-(

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Write program to check winner in a 2D 3x3 tic tac toe.
