Entrevista
I applied online and got reply after one month. I was asked to arrange a phone interview or skype interview. I chose skype because it would be more comfortable for me. Skype or phone interview are exactly the same since the interviewer would not request for a video chat through skype. There were three questions for me and nothing were technical which was really a surprise.
The questions were as follows:
1. How would you test a keyboard?
2. How would you design an alarm clock for blind people?
3. There are three baskets with apples, oranges and mix of apples and oranges. Each basket has a tag with apple, orange or mix. Now we know that all the three tags are wrong. You have only one opportunity to pick one fruit from one basket. How you will choose to identify these three baskets?
Later, he asked me about my interest and my project experience according to me interest. The interviewer is very kind and professional.
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.
