Le processus a pris 1 jour. J'ai passé un entretien chez Microsoft (Redmond, WA) en janv. 2009
Entretien
I had four one on one interviews and a lunch interview. The first three interviews I was asked many different technical problems to code. The lunch interview and we went out to the restaurant and I was being judged on how well I carried myself. For the lunch interview and the final interview I was asked alot of questions about my background, what I want to do with my career, etc... They seemed focused on assessing whether I would be a culture fit.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
There are 4 people who want to cross a bridge. They each take 1, 2, 5 and 8 minutes. Only 2 people can cross at a time and they take as long as the slowest person. What is the fastest time you can get everyone across?
Then I was asked to write the mathematical equation to determine the trade-off point between each of the 2 approaches to solving this.

Entretien
Straightforward technical loop overall, with strong interviewers at every stage. I genuinely enjoyed the in-depth conversations around technical challenges and algorithmic problem-solving — the entire process felt well-structured and genuinely engaging.
The interview was a long process. There was first the recruiter screen, which was followed by a 4-loop interview structure that covered technical, behavioral, and system design. The interviewers were very kind and accommodating.

Entretien
After my application to ClipChamp - Microsoft, a recruiter reached out and scheduled my first interview. It was about basic interview questions and background analysis. After that I had my technical interview. The recruiter specifically said that I would be facing medium hacker rank questions. So I prepared accordingly. However, what I actually got was to analyse an application and re work it according to new requirements. I felt like I was set up for failure on purpose. Didn’t even hear back after that interview.
