I went through the full interview process, from recruiter screen up to the full day of in-person interviews in Bellevue. The position was for the Dynamics AX platform.

My initial technical screen was pretty standard. The question involved determining if two strings were anagrams of each other. Aside from this, I was able to speak with the senior engineer who was interviewing me about the position and some pros and cons, which was really great. He provided some good insight.

After the technical screen, I was invited in for a full day of interviews in Bellevue. I flew out to Seattle and stayed for two nights. The entire travel process was great; they covered everything and put me up in a nice hotel.

The interview day was long, with a series of interviews, each testing different areas. All of the interviews were with senior engineers with 5 to 20 years of experience.

• The first interview covered SQL. I was given a schema and asked to point out any issues or improvements, and then write some queries.
• The next two covered CS-based questions, like algorithms and runtime analysis.
• Next, I had a lunch interview where I was able to talk with another engineer about his role and get a better sense of the day-to-day life.
• Finally, I had one more algorithms-based interview, and that was the end.

Overall, I found that the interview process was very well done, and the HR staff at Microsoft were really easy to deal with. When it comes to the atmosphere at Microsoft, it has a really corporate feel. Truthfully, it was not my top choice after being there, but that's more of a personal preference.

Given a number, write a function to convert that number to a string that would be seen on a cheque.

Example: 2376 becomes two thousand three hundred and seventy six.
