Difficult interview

Application

I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft in Feb 2011

Interview

I applied online through college career website and got invited for an interview on-campus. They asked me a couple general questions about my background. Then, they moved on to a technical question concerning stacks and queues. They asked me to write in C. But it had been awhile since I had written in C.

Question 1

How would you implement a stack? How would you account for multiple incoming requests to add or subtract data. How would you test this.

Difficult interview

Application

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Microsoft (Reading, Inglaterra) in Mar 2009

Interview

They were looking for people with good transferable skills and adaptability rather than strong technical skills. Be friendly and open, and willing to admit when you're wrong or don't know something.

Question 1

There were a number of logic puzzles within the interview, the one I remember was comparing the height of a body of water with a ship sitting on top of it, compared to the heigh after the ship had been sunk.
