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];
}

Straightforward technical loop overall, with strong interviewers at every stage. I genuinely enjoyed the in-depth conversations around technical challenges and algorithmic problem-solving — the entire process felt well-structured and genuinely engaging.
