J'ai postulé via un établissement d'enseignement supérieur ou universitaire. Le processus a pris 2 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Microsoft (Redmond, WA) en févr. 2012
Entretien
The interview process was very smooth. However, as Microsoft is a giant company, I suspect that this depends largely on the recruiters that a candidate works with.
After 2 phone interviews, one of which is a screening from the recruiter, I was invited for an on-site at their headquarters, with the SQL Azure group. All 5 interviewers were nice and enjoyed interviewer me. Three of them are super sharp and I learned a hell lot during the interview day.
To put my experience into context, I also interviewed and received offers from Facebook and Palantir. The interviews at these companies, although difficult, felt more like programming tests with little time for high level research discussions.
Questions d'entretien [4]
Question 1
Implement the function strcmp in C. (Note that it should be as efficient as the one implemented in C compilers.)
a. How do you design a distributed and fault tolerant system?
b. How do you improve the system to automatically balance the workload among the nodes?
c. Any problems if the system is to be used for large scale realtime data processing? How do you solve these?
Can you improve the availability of the name node(s)?
It started with a 90-minute online assessment, followed by a technical phone screen with one engineer. The OA covered two medium-to-hard algorithm problems. For coding practice, I mainly rely on "LeetCode" to cover different topics. For company-specific interview preparation, I use "Hack2Hire", "LeetCode Discuss", and "1Point3Acres" to find any recent original questions. All of them are helpful platforms. The phone screen included one coding problem and some discussion around edge cases and time complexity.

Entretien
I was invited to a technical interview with Microsoft. The interviewer started with a general question: “What happens when you type google.com into your browser?” They asked a few follow-up questions related to that.
After that, they gave me a LeetCode algorithmic question, which was at a hard level. The problem was “Integer to English Words.”

Three tech interviews + one hiring manager VO, most of questions are medium to hard leetcode questions. Ask some questions about techniques you written on the resume. But I think they care more about the match of the research and the job.
