Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied just before my university's Career Fair and was asked to interview almost immediately on campus.

They asked several personal questions about why I liked to program, and a couple of behavioral questions.

All the questions that followed were technical in nature and seemed pretty standard.

My first question was related to strings: I was to create a method to reverse the words of a string.

i.e., "Hello World" => "World Hello"

Questions

Another question they asked was database-related, which I have nearly no knowledge of.

They asked how I would handle a scenario of retrieving data from a database, then storing it within a data structure.

The data from the database included customers' names and the items they previously purchased from Microsoft.
