The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Microsoft (Seattle, WA) in Jan 2011
Interview
four guy interviewed me in the interview and basically they asked not very hard questions. if you read book like programming interview exposed, you should be able to handle it.
I think I failed at the last round, in which it was the manager. the manager ask me to get a design problem, but obviously, i am not prepared. I have heard before that the manager will not ask programming questions, thus I was not prepared for that.
I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Microsoft in Nov 2010
Interview
Was asked two behavoir questions (tell me about a time you worked on a team, tell me about an engineering/cs project you've done). Then, two technical questions (how do you reverse the letters in a sentence, how do you find the missing number in an array of consecutive numbers) Usually, interviewers let you choose your language, but I was told I could only code in C, which I found strange.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How do you reverse the letters in a sentence with punctuation (ie. reverse all the letters, but keep the punctuation in place).
