Microsoft Interview Experiences

Tedious, ugly, and unrepresentative of any real work. I would never, ever recommend Microsoft to any sane person. Terrible company that makes you work overtime! People leading projects are even worse, micromanaging everyone!
Software Engineer
There were a lot of tough questions, but they were nice to me. They offered coffee and pastries. The project manager was a little intimidating. I was also interviewing with Apple, and they did much better.

Microsoft visited our campus for on-campus interviews, based on resume shortlisting. During the resume exchange event, the interviewer asked about my resume and a challenging project I had worked on.
