J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 2 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Microsoft en août 2015
Entretien
I received a cold contact email from an internal Microsoft recruiter who set up a call to explain the position and determine my availablity for follow-up portions of the interview. I was then registered for a web-based 1-hour technical screen. The outcome of this technical screen determined the candidates they were to bring onsite the following week for an on-site hiring event.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Technical screen consisted of 3 questions:
1)Merge and sort 3 integer arrays.
2)Compare version numbers returning negative number if versionA < versionB; 0 if versionA == VersionB; positive number if versionA > versionB. Examples given for format were (1.0.0.0; 1.0.0.1; 2010.1.0.0).
3)Identify bugs in the following implementation of a dictionary.
function Dictionary(){
var this.dictionary_ = {};
}
Dictionary.prototype.Add(word, definitiion){
this.dictionary_[word] = definitiion);
}
Dictionary.prototype.WhatIs(word){
return this.dictionary_[word];
}
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.
