I had only one interview, however it was an on-site interview. I was asked to implement a couple of existing methods from standard libraries. I had the choice of using either C#, Java, C, or C++ (and possibly Python). The methods were from the primitive wrappers classes, with the exception of String class.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The unexpected questions were concerning dealing with lower-level stuff, such as ASCII table manipulation. I was not supposed to know it by heart, but I was supposed to know some of its important properties.
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.
