Interview Process
The Microsoft interview process was quite structured. I had an initial phone screen where they focused on data structures and algorithms. The interviewer asked questions about arrays and string manipulation. After that, I was invited to a video interview where the focus was more on system design and software engineering principles. They really wanted to see how I approached problem-solving and my thought process during coding challenges.
Technical Questions
- Array Manipulation (Dynamic Programming, Array)
- String Compression (String, Two Pointers)
Tips & Insights
Be prepared to explain your thought process clearly during coding challenges, as the interviewers are interested in your problem-solving approach as much as the final solution.
