      Software Development Engineer In Test (SDET) Interview

      Mar 8, 2011
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Redmond, WA
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA) in Feb 2011

      Interview

      I submitted an application online and was contacted within a couple of days. I did a phone interview, and within 2 days of the phone interview I was contacted and asked to come on site for a series of interviews. I had three 1-1 interviews with various employees, two were an hour long and one was 1.5 hours long (included lunch). Although I wasn't offered a position, the trip was a great experience. Everyone was incredibly friendly and I got to see Seattle/Redmond courtesy of Microsoft.

      Interview questions [4]

      Question 1

      How would you test a calculator that is going to be used by elementary school aged children?
      1 Answer

      Question 2

      Implement enqueue and dequeue using stacks.
      1 Answer

      Question 3

      Given an unsorted array of integers, sort them in such a way that all negatives come first, followed by zeroes, followed by all positives. 5,-6,8,0,4,-10,11 could become -6,-10,0,8,4,11 (does not have to be sorted into increasing order) What is the run time of this? Can we reduce the run time, if so, how (implement the new way)? Doing black box testing, how can we determine the run time? How can we determine if we have a memory leak?
      1 Answer

      Question 4

      Given a string (understood to be a sentence), reverse the order of the words. "Hello world" becomes "world Hello"
