J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 2 jours. J'ai passé un entretien chez Microsoft (Pékin, Pékin) en févr. 2022
Entretien
I was interviewed by Microsoft China, software engineer new grad full time position at STCA (software technology center Asia).
HR first will connect you on Wechat if you are Chinese person. Then two rounds of interview with current employee. Note that the interview are in Chinese. I didn't expect that since all job descriptions and interview confirmation are in English.
Two rounds of interview include resume digging questions and coding questions. They don't have a collaborative coding platform, so you have to write your code on your local IDE. They expect you to code alone and quitely without discussion with them.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Resume digging. The first interviewer asks some knowledge that a college graduate can't answer (you can only expose to that after get into industry).
One coding question is about variation of two sum.
The other coding question is about rotated sorted array.
