Software Development Engineer II Interview Experience - Dublin, Ireland
Process
I got the impression that people check your answers based on some templates. Many of them are generally well-educated, but you will definitely feel a lack of experience.
That's not surprising, as for many of them, MS was the first and only employer.
There are many questions that will come from your university course of Informatics, so it's worth renewing that knowledge.
Many puzzles, and most of them you can find on the internet.
Nothing difficult, just a good exam on things which you will never use in real life.
Questions
Find if a solution exists in the maze or prove its non-existence.
