Microsoft Software Engineer interview questions

Very short, simple first-round process. The questions were very technical, with only a few behavioral questions. The interviewer was a software engineer himself, so the questions were definitely designed to test the ability of the candidate to understand and communicate complicated programming questions. As this was a university process, it gave the opportunity for the candidate to ask questions demonstrating a desire to learn more and understand the question better.

Recruited at my school a week before our career fair. I talked to our campus recruiter and she set up the first on-campus interview which took place at my school. The on-campus interview was only 30 minutes long, which was about 10 minutes of behavioral/experience questions and 20 minutes of a short programming question (not too difficult, more of a warm up question). A week or so later I was emailed saying I made it to final-round in Seattle, where I was flown out. Four 45-minute interviews starting at 8 in the morning, but the vibes were overwhelmingly positive making it not too bad. All programming interviews, two of which were easier than the other two but overall not as bad as I was expecting. Microsoft paid for all of our meals and tourist expenses for the day. I interviewed on Monday and got my phone call on Friday, so pretty quick answer.
