A Certain number of students, selected from all-over the country were called to Microsoft IDC, Hyderabad campus. There was a written test consisting of 5 questions. Two of the Questions required us to create an algorithm and write solid code, while the rest were open ended questions on design patterns and testing. After the written round, out of 300 candidates 16 were selected for the interviews. There were 4 interviews - all technical in nature. Each interview lasted for around an hour. The Questions were highly thought-provoking and we were asked to write solid-code for all of those. Questions ranged from questions as simple as writing code to implement an algo with restrained complexity to designing a revolutionizing system for handling complex real-world issues. The Interviews were none less that awesome!
