Microsoft Software Developer interview questions

Round 1: system design. First the interviewer asked me about my current company’s projects, like how to handle too many requests and multiple writing requests in the same object, etc. Then he asked me to design a mechanism to crawl two (follow up: a lot of) websites. Round 2: coding. Implement a function to add files to a file management system. Round 3: lunch & interview, coding. First question: serialize & deserialize a binary tree. Second question: Write a function to find spam email (emails sent from wrong names like “Micr0s0ft” or “amezon”)

- Recruiter Interaction, included job fair and follow-up phone call. - Phone Screen: standard technical screen which went over resume projects and coding problem to solve. - 4 rounds of onsite: Each round included white board problems. Was asked in total 6 problems to solve between each round. Each round had some behavioral questions asked, typical questions.
