Software Development Engineer Interview Experience - Vancouver, British Columbia
Process
Microsoft came to the university for a career fair, and I dropped my resume after talking a bit about myself.
I received an email a week later asking for an interview on campus.
I had the interview one week later, then I got my rejection email one month later. The interview question was easy and included strings.
Questions
The typical "talk about yourself" question. Then I was asked to code a question involving strings. Basically, to return true or false if one string can be written from the other one.
