I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA) in Oct 2024
Interview
- Two 45 mins interviews with behavioral and technical in both. Number of Islands and valid parentheses problem, some resume question for example the difference between tensor flow vs pytorch, and question about my last internship.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
- Number of Islands
- Valid Parentheses (Not the exact same one but very similar to the leetcode one)
3 rounds of leetcode medium, 2 questions were very easy, the last one was really hard (it was a binary tree question). They asked about space and time complexity. In terms of structures it was straight forward but the question itself was hard
Behavioural round consisted of "Tell me about yourself and why you wanna work for microsoft and resume screening. And technical interview consisted of 2 LC question 1 medium and 1 easy.
straightforward. directly jumped into data structure and algorithm and then a few fundamental computer science questions especially database management system and operating system then 2 or 3 questions related to resume.
