Microsoft Software Development Engineer interview questions

Recruiter came on campus and I was able to go on campus directly for an interview. I expressed interest in an UI role and they matched me with the least UI relevant team possible, which pretty much made me lose interest in my interviews. I didn't find out until interview day. Interviews vary depending on your performance and what the team needs, so they tell you 3-5. I got away with 4.5. The team asked a lot of data structures questions, which was fine, I struggled an appropriate amount and answered most of them. They seemed to be fine with my answers. Then my last interview was with the hiring manager, who basically told me no on the spot. He pretty much made circles with his words to avoid telling me no, which was kind of stupid. He told me that my experience was not enough for them and that I should go make some apps or do TopCoder. I was fine with not getting the job, but was not fine with the fact that I wasted my entire day interviewing for a team I had zero interest. I also felt that they should not have accepted the interview in the first place if they saw I didn't have relevant experience.

Passed on campus interview and then attended the on site interview at Redmond with the Azure team.
