Process

An on-campus interview followed with three on-site interviews, including one lunch interview.

The on-campus interview was easy. We talked about the projects I am doing, my professional interests, and I solved a design problem, in other words, I designed a state machine.

Then I got my first on-site interview. I was interviewed with Bing Ads. The first round went pretty well; we discussed some basic problems involving numbers and data structures, but I was a bit slow writing code.

The second round was a lunch interview. We had lunch in their dining hall and talked about personal interests. We then discussed technologies I am interested in, specifically "Kinect." He asked if I were to add one function to Xbox, what would I add, and we continued our conversation on how to realize this technology. Afterwards, we grabbed a cup of tea, went back to his office, and solved a coding problem.

The third round had two problems, both of which asked me to deal with a character string.

Questions

They were pretty normal questions, but I was not that good at coding. Although I could figure out the steps, I was very slow writing code.
