I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Microsoft (Seattle, WA) in Sept 2017
Interview
Initial phone screen with quick brain teaser question; on site interview scheduled a few weeks later with 4 rounds of standard whiteboard coding questions and a final interview with a project/hiring manager.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Fairly typical whiteboard questions ranging from very easy to moderately difficult. Mainly array/string manipulation & recursion
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.
