I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Microsoft (Shanghai, Shanghai) in Jul 2020
Interview
The interviewer is very nice and is very senior in system design and implementation.
The interview I applied for was system group.
The whole process is made of three parts:
1. introduce yourself and your research work in school, the interviewee asked some question about my work;
2. a couple of programming problems which was covered by letecode :) The programming is on the paper not on the computer.
3. questions about understanding of computer system.
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
write a code snippet to implement memcopy function.
Straightforward technical loop overall, with strong interviewers at every stage. I genuinely enjoyed the in-depth conversations around technical challenges and algorithmic problem-solving — the entire process felt well-structured and genuinely engaging.
The interview was a long process. There was first the recruiter screen, which was followed by a 4-loop interview structure that covered technical, behavioral, and system design. The interviewers were very kind and accommodating.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft
Interview
After my application to ClipChamp - Microsoft, a recruiter reached out and scheduled my first interview. It was about basic interview questions and background analysis. After that I had my technical interview. The recruiter specifically said that I would be facing medium hacker rank questions. So I prepared accordingly. However, what I actually got was to analyse an application and re work it according to new requirements. I felt like I was set up for failure on purpose. Didn’t even hear back after that interview.
