Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite l'università. La procedura ha richiesto un giorno. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Microsoft (Redmond, WA) nel mese di lug 2015
Colloquio
I had a great experience interviewing with Microsoft. The questions were both technical and analytical in nature. A lot of focus on algorithms and design, as expected. I had a presentation and 6 interviews in one day. First few interviews focused on technical details, while the later ones where more about scenarios and discussing my approach in given scenario.

* Random permutation generator, weighted random number generator (based on a CDF).
The first was a talk with the recruiter, then an online assignment with Leetcode Medium type of question. Finally, the 3 round interview with system design, coding and low level design

Colloquio
The Onsite consisted of 2 system design questions and 2 technical questions. This rounds were back to back and they weren't actually ordered, I thought I was doing to be doing technical first but was hit with design at the start.

Domanda 1
The design questions made sense for the role (unfortunately I was not aware of the role since I was a general applicant). The two technical questions were not on leetcode but custom questions the interviewers had which were actually not bad.

Colloquio
Five rounds of interview with mostly leetcode medium or hard level problems. It included one design round typical to game design rather than system design. The interview I participa\ted was part of hiring event.
