Process
1 online round + 4 technical rounds.
Algo-based.
Last round was algo + culture fit. A few questions on machine learning, as CV mentioned some projects in that area.
In the online test, questions were like BST to DLL and some binary string shift problems.
Questions
Given a set of rectangles, select a subset (of maximum size) of rectangles and stack them such that the i-th rectangle's width and length are lower than those (respectively) of the (i + 1)-th rectangle.
Changed "rectangle" to "cuboid" in the previous question; now, the goal is to maximize the height of the stack.

Goals are very clearly defined, and it's easy to track your progress. Your managers want to help you grow your career.Cons: There is a lot of group-think and an unspoken requirement to drink the Kool-Aid. Communication doesn't always happen in the appropriate channels, so it's easy to become disconnected.
- 5.0Microsoft really values the internsSoftware Development Engineer • Former EmployeeRedmond, Washington, United StatesOctober 24, 2013Pros: As a giant tech company, Microsoft really values its interns and sincerely tries to keep them as full-time employees. They hold a lot of events and provide good opportunities for interns to experience life working at Microsoft.Cons: Sometimes you feel that you are only a tiny part of your project. The promotion in such a big company is also slow. You get a promotion every two or three years, and that is it. You can hardly get a chance to become a manager in 5 years. But I think it is the normal case in big companies.
