Software Engineer (Internship) Interview Experience - Seattle, Washington
Process
The process included an online application on the Microsoft website, followed by a phone interview that reviewed my resume and involved a puzzle. This was then followed by an on-site interview in Seattle.
Honestly, it was one of the best experiences of my life. However, I went unprepared because I had never had a technical interview before. It really changed my perspective regarding interviewing for software engineering roles.
If you are preparing, I recommend using a website like LeetCode and trying to solve as many problems as possible before your interview.
Questions
During the phone interview, the puzzle they asked me was about distinguishing a marble of slightly different weight out of 9, using a scale a maximum of 2 times.
