They didn't make me sign an NDA like some of the other companies I am looking at, but I don't think Microsoft appreciates this, considering there are at least 2 more weeks left in the main fall recruitment season. Also pretty sure that if a Microsoft employee finds this OP they can quickly figure out who you are and send you angry emails. | ||

Interview Four This interview didn't go terribly well. She started off asking me why I would like to work for Microsoft. Some more questions like why I would like to be a tester, and then we moved on to the coding part. I about shit myself. She wanted me to write code to perform an O(nlogn) sorting algorithm for integers in a binary tree. I just couldn't do it. I asked questions but she seemed like she didn't really want to help me. It seemed almost as if she just thought of the interview question a couple minutes before, because maybe some of you won't agree, but I feel like this was a bit much for a whiteboard interview question. I basically just gave up. She seemed sort of okay with that, and we just say down and continued to talk. She asked me about the basic things to test, like functionality, security, performance, scalability, etc. I gave her answers but I felt defeated. That wrapped up this interview. Bubble up bubble down man! That was so a second year algorithms question. lol | ||

 I visited the campus in Redmond in the summer and it is an awesome campus. We got treated really well whilst walking around the place, getting free soda's and an awesome food court with plenty of selection. Plus some cool insights into the offices of the people who make the products we all see on our computers in a few years. Great read! :D | ||

Any good language will have data structures and sorting ready for you. If after years of experience you finally need to do complex sorting by hand you'll always have internet. I guess the interviewers can't answer the questions properly anyway. Developpers need a brain and internet, not memory ^^ | ||
