Me postulé a través de una facultad o universidad. El proceso tomó 4 semanas. Acudí a una entrevista en Microsoft (Redmond, WA) en oct 2017
Entrevista
The interview process consisted of an in-person interview on my college campus scheduled around the career fair, followed by an onsite interview at the headquarters. In terms of difficulty, the first interview was just to check that I could actually code and debug things, while having a subtle behavioral component as well. The onsite cosisted of 4 consecutive one-hour technical rounds. The difficulty of the questions progressed gradually: leetcode easy -> leetcode medium -> complexity theory / algo analysis -> graph algorithms / low-level memory concepts.

Pregunta 1
One of the onsite questions was a classic Medium leetcode question: given a string and a list of letters, find the shortest substring that contains at least one of each letter.
Feeling thrilled to have accepted the offer, I look back on this interview process as both challenging and rewarding. It began with a technical round where I tackled a complex A/B testing design question, followed by a SQL query on user retention. The final stages included a system design discussion that had me sweating, but honestly, the system design section on PracHub prepared me well. Each step pushed my limits, but the culmination was definitely worth it, landing me a role at Microsoft.

Design an A/B test to measure the impact of a new ranking change in Bing, and explain how you would handle network interference between treatment and control users.
Write a SQL query that computes 7-day rolling user retention from a daily events table, then flags cohorts whose week-over-week retention dropped more than 10%.
Phone screen with HR/recruiter. Less than 10 mins. Very basic mostly about role fit and my background and resume. Did not hear back from them at all. Very unenthusiastic during the call

Overall 3 rounds with 2 technical and 1 managerial. The 1st round was DS and ML heavy with some analytics. The 2 nd round was resume, SQL and causal /AB experimentation. The managerial round was resume related and some behavioural questions.
