J'ai postulé via un recruteur. J'ai passé un entretien chez Microsoft (London, ON) en oct. 2014
Entretien
Microsoft came to our university for the semester's job fair, where they were accepting resumes. They contacted me within the next few weeks and let me know to schedule an interview. The interviewer was friendly and did a great job at making the interview seem welcoming. Microsoft then contacted all interviewees within the next month.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
The interviewer discussed coding experiences and how I handled them, personal projects that I've worked on, and a C coding question: Implement the char *strstr(const char *haystack, const char *needle) function.
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.
