J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 1 jour. J'ai passé un entretien chez Microsoft (Cambridge, MA) en mai 2009
Entretien
The first part of the interview process was a phone interview - mainly general questions about what interested me about programming why I wanted to work for Microsoft Startup Labs. Then was the technical interview with one of the engineers there. He asked me some verbal questions like "Is JavaScript object-oriented" then asked me to write some code on a white board - reverse a linked list, do some tree traversals, and something else. All pretty standard I guess.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Write code to reverse a linked list in C++ or Java
The hiring process started with an online assessment that focused on problem-solving and coding skills.
After passing the assessment, I was invited to a series of 3 back-to-back technical interviews.
Each interview was primarily centered around data structures and algorithms, with questions similar in style and difficulty to LeetCode problems.
Interviewers also evaluated problem-solving approach, code quality, and the ability to explain thought processes clearly while coding.
Overall, the process was structured, technical, and heavily focused on algorithmic problem solving and communication skills.
J'ai postulé via un établissement d'enseignement supérieur ou universitaire. J'ai passé un entretien chez Microsoft (Bengaluru) en mars 2026
Entretien
Interviewer was intrested in my Open source work for first 25 min where I told him about my GSoC work which was about decompression and asked a simple dsa question about trees. And asked follow ups like print it without storing it in a vector of vector.
