      Software Development Engineer I Interview

      Jan 4, 2013
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Redmond, WA
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA) in Nov 2012

      Interview

      I dropped my resume in a college job fair, then got contacted for an on-campus interview. Typical HR questions followed by an easy coding question. After that I went to Redmond for full-day on site interview. 4 interviews of 1 hour in length and 1 lunch interview. It was a typical day as explained in other reviews, nothing special. All interviews started with some chat, followed by multiple technical coding questions. No advanced questions at all, I solved all problems using either a hash table or a linked list, nothing fancy. I thought I did well, no offer was a surprise. Other than that, everything went perfectly smooth, I was well informed during the whole process, got the results in a few days.

      Interview questions [2]

      Question 1

      Given a string of format '2+3*2-1', calculate and return the result. No parenthesis in the input, just integers and + - * / operators. Operator precedence has to be considered. Linear time complexity and minimal data structure use is preferred.
      4 Answers

      Question 2

      Implement a queue using a circular data structure. Provide put and get functions. Also talked about how to provide thread safety.
