Process
I had a 30-minute interview at my college, followed by an onsite interview at their Redmond office.
The first interview involved a fairly standard coding question.
The onsite consisted of two interviews where I was asked a combination of behavioral and technical questions, some more open-ended than others.
Questions
For my first interview, I was asked to implement Merge Sort.
