I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA) in Nov 2013
Interview
The whole process was very smooth. I first had a 30 min interview on campus. Two technical questions: reversing a linked list and least common ancestor in a binary tree. Then flown to Redmond for onsite interview. I got four interviews, each for 45 min. They all asked sorting and string manipulation questions. They also ask to come up with all test cases after you write your code.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
There was no difficult or unexpected questions.
for instance:
-sort an array with just two types of elements, optimize your algorithm
-find common letters in two strings and put them in a sorted order
-compare sorting algorithms
Expect technical deep dives, coding challenges, and problem-solving scenarios. Questions will probe your knowledge of data structures, algorithms, and software design, assessing your ability to build robust systems. yes yus yes
