Software Engineer - New Grad Interview Experience - Redmond, Washington
Process
I met Microsoft at a Career Fair. After a phone screen with HR, I was invited for an onsite interview. Microsoft handled all the logistics. The people were super nice, and the campus is amazing!
This was a university hiring event, with around 50 students present.
Questions
The interview was pretty simple, covering LeetCode easy-medium questions on arrays, linked lists, trees, and strings. One interviewer (Eugene) was very rude, totally uninterested, and did not communicate well. The interview isn't super hard and should be easy to crack.
