*Advice - during each break they will ask if you want coffee, always say yes. You need to stay excited and alert. Take this as an opportunity to have a good time and show them how excited you are to be there. Don't let yourself get tired or cranky. They will beat you down at the end, don't give up and don't ever get angry.
Perguntas de entrevista [4]
Pergunta 1
He asked me if I were to design windows, as in like the file explorer windows and image windows, what data structure would I use.
He asked me how would clicking windows work.
He then asked me what if I had countless number of these windows, how would my implementation need to change.
He then asked me how to measure the Big-O of my data structure and some other efficiency questions.
*Advice - talk to them through the process, use sudo code (the less time you waste on syntax the better cause they don't care), ask them lots of questions to clarify what they want.
Programming questions: I was asked to make a simple function. Then I was asked to make another function that is not so simple.
*Advice, use the easier function to solver the larger general problem that also solves the harder function.
Out of the box questions: I was asked to make a calendar out of 2 6 sided cubes.
*Advice, Think as out of the box as possible, walk them through your ideas and solutions, draw pictures if possible. Ask questions!
Design question (more specific to pm): He talked to me for a bit when the topic of github came up, he then asked me "Come up with 5 ways that you would make github better." Everytime I came up with something he would try to conquer me and make me feel like my idea is ridiculous and that it probably won't work. They will look for holes and they will ry to make you cave in and give up on your ideas.
*Advice, it is very hard to come up with design ideas but try thinking about Microsoft products and what goals they achieve to see if you can incorporate them in your ideas. DON'T GIVE IN, just cause they are questions you and trying to make you cave in doesn't mean your idea is bad, stand your ground but use reasons to defend your ideas. Draw pictures.
Three rounds of interview starting with phone screening, middle round of online interview and final round of three interviews all schedule within a couple weeks time. Interviews were Microsoft recruiters followed by employees
