Process

This is for the Summer Internship.

The preliminary round was held online in select colleges, and we were called for an onsite interview.

Those with a good thinking approach were also chosen, not solely based on getting the solution. There was also a coding round for those with a lesser score in the online round.

A simple problem was given to many students, and we were expected to solve it. If the approach was deeply flawed, the person would be eliminated.

The next round was a technical round, where a 1-on-1 interview with a Microsoft employee was held. The duration was about an hour and was quite strenuous.

Following the round, the HR manager would provide feedback and announce the results. The HR manager was very encouraging and asked the eliminated candidates to reapply after working on their skills. This feedback had a very positive impact on me.

The final round would be an HR round, I guess (I could not crack the technical round).

Questions

The sender will have the software, but the receiver will not. However, the message should still be passed.
