I applied through college or university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Microsoft (São Paulo, ) in Jun 2016
Interview
They went to my university for recruitment and I handed over my resume to one of the recruiters. About one/two weeks later I got an email telling that I was chosen for the first Interview that was held at my University campus.
The first interview had two behavioural question and one technical. I passed this first step then I 2/3 weeks later I got other email about the on campus interview.
On campus I got 4 interviews one after another with 15min break from each other.
The first 3 interviews were pretty technical with some behavioural as well, but the emphasis was on technical ones. The 4th one was like a chat (perhaps I had already lost the offer).
Interview questions [4]
Question 1
At my university campus: Given a string, write a program that outputs its compressed version.
e.g: Input "aacccbb" -> Output: "a2c3b2"
On campus Interview Question 1) : Given a string containing a sentence, write a program that outputs the words composing the sentence in reverse order.
e.g: "I am cool" -> "I ma looc"
On campus Interview Question 3) : How would you design a machine learning algorithm to predict a ping-pong match? Tell also me the features you need for your algorithms.
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.
