Candidatei-me por meio de recrutador(a). O processo levou 2 semanas. Fui entrevistado pela Microsoft em mai. de 2016
Entrevista
A Microsoft recruiter reached out to me via LinkedIn. After initially scheduling a phone screen, I realized I had a schedule conflict and asked the recruiter to reschedule several times over the next few days through direct email and LinkedIn with no response. I skipped my other commitment to make the call and the recruiter was unprepared, having the wrong resume and generally being curt with the questions/responses.
After passing the recruiter screen, I was told I would have a 1 hour technical phone interview. However, I don't know if that was communicated to the interviewer as the interview was instead less than 30 min talking through my resume before the interviewer had to leave for a meeting.
I was told I would hear back in the next few days, but I never ended up getting a response so I'm assuming I was passed over.
Overall, disappointingly disorganized.
Perguntas de entrevista [1]
Pergunta 1
Standard questions about resume, "why Microsoft?", etc.
The only technical question was a probability brain teaser
Feeling thrilled to have accepted the offer, I look back on this interview process as both challenging and rewarding. It began with a technical round where I tackled a complex A/B testing design question, followed by a SQL query on user retention. The final stages included a system design discussion that had me sweating, but honestly, the system design section on PracHub prepared me well. Each step pushed my limits, but the culmination was definitely worth it, landing me a role at Microsoft.

Design an A/B test to measure the impact of a new ranking change in Bing, and explain how you would handle network interference between treatment and control users.
Write a SQL query that computes 7-day rolling user retention from a daily events table, then flags cohorts whose week-over-week retention dropped more than 10%.
Phone screen with HR/recruiter. Less than 10 mins. Very basic mostly about role fit and my background and resume. Did not hear back from them at all. Very unenthusiastic during the call

Overall 3 rounds with 2 technical and 1 managerial. The 1st round was DS and ML heavy with some analytics. The 2 nd round was resume, SQL and causal /AB experimentation. The managerial round was resume related and some behavioural questions.
