J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 3 jours. J'ai passé un entretien chez Microsoft (Cambridge, MA) en juin 2011
Entretien
Emailed a recruiter about The Foundry, one of Microsoft's summer internship programs. Received an email back asking to set up a phone interview that very day.
The phone interview was nothing heavy, just general questions about my history as an undergraduate student, favorite project, etc.
I was invited for an on-site, along with a group of maybe 10 others that morning. Very nice people. There was a generous breakfast for all of us. Met with 4 engineers for about an hour each. Three were technical. I had to do things like demonstrate websites that I thought had a nice UI, talk about the inner workings (hardware and software) of a mobile device (in a general sense), and some whiteboard coding.
I was told immediately after the process ended that I was not chosen. They sat us in a room and called us out one by one to break the news. We weren't aware at the moment, but those that remained in the room were hired.

Question 1
Space Complexity of Traversal, also explain Morris Traversal
The entire process only had two rounds and it was really simple. Each round was around 45 minutes to an hour with a current Microsoft engineer and they just ask you a typical leetcode style question. There was also a behavioral round that was really simple.

Question 1
The first round was a typically leetcode question that was really easy. The second round was a little bit harder. It was about having a nxn square made out of 0s and 1s and it wants you to compute what the square looks like if it was rotated.

It was a really enjoyable experience overall. Although I didn’t get the position, the interview itself was great, and I truly appreciated the opportunity to learn more about the role, the team, and the company.
