I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Microsoft (Seattle, WA) in May 2015
Interview
The interview was too short because I didn't pass from the phone screen round.
The recruiter contact me on a day, and on the next day I did the interview. Extremely fast.
The recruiter told me about himself, about his team in Microsoft. Then we made the interview. Then he opened a time to questions. All the process took 30 minutes.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
What was the most difficult challenge that you have done, and why?
Technical question: Given an unordered list, return the smallest number larger than average.
I had (more or less) 10 minutes to solve and test the solution.
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.
