Then another written round which comprised of 2 questions - one programming and other to generate test cases. After that there were three interview rounds. The first two were programming based. In both the rounds, I was asked to code various algorithmic questions. Focus was also on data structures - mainly linked list and trees The third round was HR cum technical round.

Qualifications may be necessary in securing an IT job, but head hunters at Microsoft often look under the hood for passion and self-awareness. "If you're going to be supporting the financial services industry, we'll ask if you've worked in a bank," he said. "Sometimes, it's not about having knowledge of our technology--it's about knowledge of how the financial sector operates." Because Microsoft is evolving to better understand its customers' businesses, rather than just selling software, the company is looking for different talent. "We engage the candidates to let them know what Microsoft is all about and the problems we have."
