Describe a time you handled a challenging situation at work.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA) in Oct 2024
Interview
It was simple and straight forward. It was a 3-hours virtual onsite composed of 3 different interviews with 3 different interviewers. Each will be accompanied with at least 1 LC, questions about background, and may be a logic question.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Arlington, VA) in Mar 2024
Interview
1 day, 4 interviews, 45 min each. All the interviewers were helpful and collaborative. Each interviewer asked general behavioral questions and then asked a coding problem. 2 coding problems in each interview, the last interview had one problem but it was lengthy, so I assume 30 minutes to solve coding problems. and 15 min for other talks.
