dthable's Journal: The Microsoft Interview Is Over

I've finally recovered from my Microsoft interview experience.

4 Questions:
  a. Design an algorithm
  b. Design a comprehensive unit test plan for the algorithm
  c. Design new features for a product.
  d. List selling points and explain to a customer why they should by your product from c.

It took only 30 minutes but that seemed like an eternity and just drained me. I was so out of it for some time afterwards. Maybe it was the lack of sleep, the stress release or the mental grilling that I just got. It didn't go as well as I would have liked (we had some technical difficulties with the phone connection) and if I had to guess, I would bet against me.

Hey, at least I got the interview.

Wait until the full interview loop

Take what you just experienced and stretch it out to 45 minutes-1 hour. That's how long you talk to each interviewer. Multiply that by 5-7 interviewers. Not fun, but worth it if you want the job. At least you'll get a free flight to Seattle and a few free meals out of it.

I would gladly go through that for the chance to work there. My only problem now is playing the waiting game while they make the decision on who to bring in for a second interview.

I hate waiting.
