Software Engineer (Internship) Interview Experience - Redmond, Washington

Positive ExperienceGot Offer

Process

Microsoft was very friendly. A recruiter reached out to me on LinkedIn to schedule an on-campus interview at my college.

That interview was not too bad. I was asked a question on how to manipulate a matrix.

Four hours after my interview, they sent me instructions on how to schedule my next one in Seattle.

At Seattle, they were very friendly again. They are trying a new interview process where they only do two interviews compared to the four they were used to.

Both interviews were 45 minutes long, with 30 of those minutes being a technical question and the rest of the time for you to ask questions.

Questions

Given an integer matrix, zero out the column and row for every zero found.

Given an array of numbers and an integer, find all pairs that add up to the integer.

Given a list of strings, find all anagrams and return a list of them.
