      Software Engineer Intern Interview

      27 Jun 2024
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Microsoft in Mar 2023

      Interview

      There was one phone screen. Then two interviews: one was technical, one was behavioral. Both interviewers were strangely hostile and acted completely uninterested throughout my response. It seemed like my application had been discounted ahead of time, and they were going through the motions with no intention of hiring me. However, it was overall very quick, so not a waste of time.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Three ants start at the corners of a triangle. They pick a 50/50 direction, what's the chance that an ant collides with another.

      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Microsoft (Tel Aviv-Yafo)

      Interview

      Process: 3 virtual interviews in a single day (75 minutes each) via MS Teams and HackerRank. Overall Experience: Positive, highly technical, and deeply focused on data structures, optimization, and system design.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Round 1: Project & Architecture Review (75 mins)Focus: Deep dive into past technical experience.Details: The entire round was dedicated to presenting a personal/academic project. The interviewer asked detailed questions regarding the system's architecture, specific algorithmic choices, trade-offs, and design decisions.Round 2: Coding / Algorithms (75 mins)Focus: Problem-solving, bitwise operations, and array manipulation.Questions Asked:Bitwise Operation (LeetCode 2275 - Largest Combination With Bitwise AND Greater Than Zero): Given an array of integers, find the size of the largest subset where the bitwise AND of all elements is greater than zero. Insight: Count the number of set bits (1s) at each of the 32 bit positions across all numbers.Frequency Tracking (LeetCode 169 - Majority Element): Given an array, find the element that appears at least $n/2$ times (guaranteed to exist). Can be solved using a Hash Map ($O(n)$ space) or optimized using the Boyer-Moore Voting Algorithm ($O(1)$ space).Round 3: Low-Level Design (LLD) (75 mins)Focus: Object-Oriented Design (OOD) and data structure integration.Details: Design a parking lot system. The core challenge evolved into choosing the optimal combination of data structures to achieve $O(1)$ efficiency for parking, leaving, and tracking the physical index of each vehicle.Key Solution Concept: Integrating a Fixed-size Array (to maintain physical indices), a Doubly Linked List (to manage the pool of free spots), and a Hash Map (to map vehicle IDs to list nodes).

      Interview

      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
