Me postulé a través de un reclutador. El proceso tomó 4 semanas. Acudí a una entrevista en Microsoft (Bellevue, WA) en jul 2011
Entrevista
Recruiter emailed me in late June asking me if I am interested in Microsoft, I replied "yes" with my resume attached. There were two phone screenings about data structure and algorithm in the next two weeks, and I flew to Seattle for on-site interview. I met the recruiter, two engineers, two tech leads, one manager and one architect in one day. Engineers focused on coding, tech leads focused on design, manager / architect asked some generic problem solving questions. The team is in downtown Bellevue, and I had my lunch at the company cafeteria inside the building. Each one gets a private office with the sliding door, it looks cool.

Implement malloc() and free() to solve heap fragmentation problem, while malloc() should be very fast and free() could be slower.

Manger round was mostly behavioral along with a design question. DSA went well but the design questions were not upto the mark.

The process was very simple. Recruiter contacted me on LinkedIn. Finished the online coding assessment.
From there a Microsoft Hiring Event day was scheduled.
Interview was pretty simple, Straight up leetcode. didn't even change the examples.
1st interview was medium leetcode. When I solved it in 15 mins, 2nd question was asked, After that a behavioral. This interview was finished in under 40 minutes
2nd interviewer asked a very common leetcode question. He asked me if I saw that question on leetcode. when I solved that he asked me to optimize it which I did. And then a behavioral.
3rd interview was OOD after a behavioral question. The interviewer did not ask any follow up questions. This interview was finished in under 40 minutes.
4th interview was a Tree based question which was also solved in the most optimal way. Interviewer mentioned that he has very less experience in java and couldn't understand some of the code. No follow up questions. there was another behavioral question. This interview was also done in 40 minutes.
When i checked with recruiter I was told that I was rejected. I was very confident about this interview. I still don't understand why I was rejected.
