Entrevista
Recruiter came on campus and I was able to go on campus directly for an interview. I expressed interest in an UI role and they matched me with the least UI relevant team possible, which pretty much made me lose interest in my interviews. I didn't find out until interview day.
Interviews vary depending on your performance and what the team needs, so they tell you 3-5. I got away with 4.5. The team asked a lot of data structures questions, which was fine, I struggled an appropriate amount and answered most of them. They seemed to be fine with my answers.
Then my last interview was with the hiring manager, who basically told me no on the spot. He pretty much made circles with his words to avoid telling me no, which was kind of stupid. He told me that my experience was not enough for them and that I should go make some apps or do TopCoder.
I was fine with not getting the job, but was not fine with the fact that I wasted my entire day interviewing for a team I had zero interest. I also felt that they should not have accepted the interview in the first place if they saw I didn't have relevant experience.
It started with a 90-minute online assessment, followed by a technical phone screen with one engineer. The OA covered two medium-to-hard algorithm problems. For coding practice, I mainly rely on "LeetCode" to cover different topics. For company-specific interview preparation, I use "Hack2Hire", "LeetCode Discuss", and "1Point3Acres" to find any recent original questions. All of them are helpful platforms. The phone screen included one coding problem and some discussion around edge cases and time complexity.

Entrevista
I was invited to a technical interview with Microsoft. The interviewer started with a general question: “What happens when you type google.com into your browser?” They asked a few follow-up questions related to that.
After that, they gave me a LeetCode algorithmic question, which was at a hard level. The problem was “Integer to English Words.”

Three tech interviews + one hiring manager VO, most of questions are medium to hard leetcode questions. Ask some questions about techniques you written on the resume. But I think they care more about the match of the research and the job.
