Software Development Engineer Interview Experience - London, United Kingdom

I had a one-on-one interview with two people from Microsoft.
The first part was technical. The interviewer asked me to code a function that would reverse the order of words in a string. I then had to optimize the solution and consider edge cases.
The second interviewer asked me about my projects and my studies.
