Question 1
Leetcode Questions should be good for preparation.
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Microsoft (Sídney) in Mar 2018
Interview
Had 1 30 minute technical interview. Had to submit resume a cover letter to get it. Answered question fine but didn't get through to the next stage. Not sure why.
Was efficient, straightforward, easy going. Different interviewers with different personalities, some were more aggressive interviewers and didn't care what you answered, just jumped between questions. Others were super friendly and asked great technical questions and helped give the option of using a computer or the white board.
