I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Seattle, WA) in Feb 2019
Interview
Interview was pretty easy. The tech question takes 3 lines in python.
The Interviewers were inexperienced and the recruiter took 3 months to respond.
Would have rejected the offer the either way.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
A binary search problem which can be found on leetcode
Walking into the technical round, I had an unexpected moment of déjà vu when I was asked to find the lowest common ancestor in a binary tree. It was just like the question I had practiced on prachub.com a few days earlier. The interview also included designing an LRU cache and reversing a linked list, which I felt comfortable with too. Overall, the process was smooth, starting with a recruiter screen and a couple of phone interviews. I received an offer, but ultimately decided to decline.
