This was an initial phone screening for an onsite interview at the Copenhagen Development Centre. I was contacted by the recruiter and we set a time for the interview within two weeks.

1. Why did you apply for Microsoft?

2. What made you take the decision to be a software engineer?

3. Talk about the most important project on your resume. Tell me about the challenges and how you solved them.

4. What is the difference between Processes and Threads?

5. What is the difference between Stacks and Queues?

6. What is the largest number of lines of code you have written in any project?

7. A puzzle: You have three tanks of water (8 L, 5 L, 3 L). The 8 L tank is full, and you need to separate the 8 liters into 4 liters using the three tanks without getting any 4 L tanks.
