Work culture, company values, and mission
Overhiring causing layoffs over a span of a few months.
This was a "hiring event" where 10 people were flown in together. They met the coordinators as a group, then were each given their own room. Each candidate was interviewed by 4 Microsoft employees for 45 minutes per interview. There was a 15-minute
Easy interview for Software Engineer II level. Had 3 rounds of onsite interview in total. Interviewers and HR were professional. Background screening was a very long process, exceeding my notice period and delaying the joining date.
It was two rounds. Two rounds face to face. Each round had one interviewer and one interviewee. They asked questions about basic algorithms and data structures, like binary search and trees. Question: How do you output the leaves of a binary tree?
