Microsoft Software Development Engineer interview questions

5 rounds - 3 days round 1 was 15 output based programming questions , for 30 minutes was very easy round - 2 was coding - had two questions was easy , but I hadn't practiced enough coding.

I wen through the full interview process, from recruiter screen up to the full day in person interviews in Bellevue (the position was for the Dynamics AX platform). My initial technical screen was pretty standard, the question was determining if two strings were anagrams of each other. Aside from this I was able to speak with the senior engineer who was interviewing my about the position and some pro's and con's which was really great. He provided some good insight for me. After the technical screen I was invited in for full day of interviews in Bellevue. I flew out to Seattle and stayed for 2 nights. The entire travel process was great, they covered everything and put me up in a nice hotel. The interview day was long, I had a series of interviews each testing different areas. All of the interviews were with senior engineers with 5 - 20 years experience. The first interview covered SQL, I was given a schema and asked to point out any issues/improvements and then write some queries. The next 2 covered CS based questions like algorithms, runtime analysis .. etc. Next I had a lunch interview where I was able to talk with another engineer about his role and get a little more of a sense of the day to day life. Finally I had one more algorithms based interview and that was the end. Overall I found that the interview process was very well done and the hr staff at Microsoft were really easy to deal with. When it comes to the atmosphere at Microsoft it has a really corporate feel to it and truthfully it was not my top choice having been there but that's more of a personal preference.
