Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The interviewer focused more on the Windows OS stack.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Microsoft in Dec 2015
Interview
Fairly easy phone screen interview. Asked me about my passion for technology, why Microsoft, and some pretty common behavioral questions. Had a brainteaser at the end.
Unfortunately, I apparently had a requiter that never contacted me and there was a huge miscommunication in what role I had actually applied for that made it seem like I was very unprepared/not organized.
Really wish the mysterious requiter would have emailed me so I would have known that the position I was interviewing for was different than the one I applied for online.
Or that it would have specified somewhere in the email to set up the phone screen.
