I applied online in September 2018. In February 2019, I received an email from a recruiter asking for additional information to set up a phone interview. I talked to a FTE who basically asked about what I study, why Microsoft, etc. I made it through to the next round for in person interviews. I flew out to Redmond where I did a presentation of my portfolio to a group of FTEs and then after lunch I had 3 interviews, each 45 minutes with the people who saw my presentation. I answered questions about my work ethic, my experience, and how I approach problem solving. Less than a week after that, I received my internship offer.

Question 1
Space Complexity of Traversal, also explain Morris Traversal
The entire process only had two rounds and it was really simple. Each round was around 45 minutes to an hour with a current Microsoft engineer and they just ask you a typical leetcode style question. There was also a behavioral round that was really simple.

Question 1
The first round was a typically leetcode question that was really easy. The second round was a little bit harder. It was about having a nxn square made out of 0s and 1s and it wants you to compute what the square looks like if it was rotated.

It was a really enjoyable experience overall. Although I didn’t get the position, the interview itself was great, and I truly appreciated the opportunity to learn more about the role, the team, and the company.
