      AI Residency Program (Cambridge) Interview

      Feb 15, 2019
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Microsoft in Feb 2019

      Interview

      Skype interview with HR person, first round after CV screening. Questions were asked kind of randomly, so the conversation wasn't very fluid. The lady interviewing me didn't seem from the field, she took a lot of notes and said she was going to pass on those notes to someone else and I would be notified 2-3 weeks.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Behaviour 1) What was the most complex project you worked on (in which you applied your technical skills!), what was your role, what challenges you had and how you overcome them. 1.1) How did you tested your code in that previously challenging project you mentioned? 1.2) What language did you use for this and how many lines of codes did you have? 2) What's your motivation for this program? 3) What have you done to prepare for AI career? Code 1) How would you describe good code and great code? 2) Which language you prefer? (I complemented with a because...) Others 1) How would you explain Cloud Computing to a six year old person? Technical She showed me a graphic and asked me to say which line was best to split the samples plotted. (she wanted a straight answer, no very complex explanations)
