      Software Development Interview

      18 Oct 2016
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Declined offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft

      Interview

      I was contacted by a recruiter, passed the first half-tech-half-non-tech phone screening. It was basic "walk me through your resume" and "talk about a project" and "what if you were a leader of a team and two team member have problem, how would you solve it". Technical part wasn't hard, simple puzzles. Then I was invited to their center for an in-person interview.

      I interviewed at Microsoft

      Interview

      The first round was a phone screen round (mostly behavioral). It was a 30 minute phone interview and I had an overall positive experience. Few questions were based on my course knowledge though fairly straightforward.
