Process

I applied for the software engineer position online and got an on-campus interview a few days later. The interview had two parts: the general and the technical parts.

The general part included questions like: Why did you choose to be a software engineer? Why did you choose MS? What past projects/jobs have you done, and what did you learn from them?

The technical part was quite easy, consisting of just a simple coding question.
