Software Development Engineer Interview Experience - Melbourne, Australia
Process
I applied via Microsoft University Recruiting.
The first round was a face-to-face screening at my local university. The second round was a group interview at the Sydney campus.
I was asked to solve an algorithm problem on a whiteboard, with a constraint of O(1) space.
The problem itself was not difficult, but it required a bit of thinking.
