Entretien
Microsoft came to my university to advertise job positions. I applied at their website and had a phone interview scheduled within a couple of days. These are the questions I can remember:
- What 3 qualities would you like an assistant to have? Do you have those qualities?
- (Behavioral question) Think back about a time when you had a difficulty problem at work and how you solved it.
- Why do you want to work at MS?
- What level of the computing stack do you want to work at? (User Interface, Application level or Driver-level)
- How would you test a keyboard?
- How do you go about learning a new programming language?
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
(Behavioral question) Think back about a time when you had a difficulty problem at work and how you solved it.
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.

Entretien
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.
Took a bit longer than I thought, spanning about three weeks from start to finish. After a quick recruiter screen, I had a technical round where I was asked about validating a binary search tree. The wild part is, I had literally seen this exact problem on prachub.com while prepping. It helped me feel more confident discussing my approach and edge cases. There was also a behavioral interview where I shared my experiences, and eventually, I received an offer. I chose to decline it, though, as it wasn't the right fit for me at the time.
