J'ai postulé via un établissement d'enseignement supérieur ou universitaire. Le processus a pris 3 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Microsoft (Redmond, WA) en déc. 2010
Entretien
I talked to a recruiter who set me up for an in-person one on one interview when Micrsoft recruited on campus. It took about 45 minutes and was mostly chat, except for one programming question. I was told to expect email from a recruiter within 3 weeks, and sure enough, within three weekes I was contacted by a scheduler for an onsite interview.
A day or two before the onsite, I was told which team I would be interviewing with. (I'm still rather unsatisfied with this part because I felt that I had no choice in the matter.) The onsite started out with a briefing with yet another recruiter who told me what to expect. Then I went into 4 successive interviews, each with a technical and a people skills portion. At the end of the day I met with the recruiter again to debrief. At that point, I knew better than to expect an offer because I knew I'd messed up several times early on in the interviews.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
If you're collaborating with a member of another team, how would you resolve a conflict?
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.
