J'ai postulé via la recommandation d'un employé. Le processus a pris plus d'une semaine. J'ai passé un entretien chez Microsoft
Entretien
I was referred to a recruiter by a friend who had interned there the previous summer. She contacted me and we set up an in-person interview on my university's campus. The recruiter was great. The interviewer...not so much. He barely introduced himself, and gave no explanation about what he did. We jumped right into a technical question. When I was explaining my answer (and not struggling, mind you) his phone went off and he pulled it out. He then proceeded to RESPOND TO AN EMAIL while I was talking. This was incredibly irritating and rude, but I assumed that he was still listening to what I was saying. Nope, when he was finished he looked up and asked me to repeat what I had just said. Incredibly unprofessional, and terrible interview etiquette.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Given 2 LinkedList ListNode pointers, determine if the two lists ever intersect. Building upon that, if they do intersect, at what node. Building on that, what do you do if there is a circle in the list, and can you detect one
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.

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.
