Interview
I passed the on campus interview which consisted of a quick tree recursive problem that took around 30 minutes. I was provided with a nice hotel in redmond for the on site interview about 10 minutes from the campus. The day was pretty tiring as it involved 5 interviews with one of them taking place during lunch. Each interview was a mix of behavioral and technical questions such as string manipulation, backtracking, and some networking stuff I didn't really understand. Overall it was a great interview experience but I would prefer to have no interview during lunch
