Microsoft came to our campus to select Summer interns for 2011. Internship process was like this.
There was one written round, where they selected 36 students from 150+ students. Written round was normal, questions were solvable.
Then there were two rounds of individual interview. Questions asked were easy, at-least for me as i code regularly ;)
During 1st interview they asked me two questions. I solved both of them. I was solving one of the problem in a bad manner, so he gave me a hint. I picked that and re-answered what he wanted to listen. After 1st round, from 36 they selected around 12 students for 2nd round.
Second interview was all good. I learned a lot from 2nd interview. The women who took my interview was very cool and explained things perfectly. After 2nd round, they selected 6 students.
Final interview was at MS-IDC, Hyderabad. They asked 8 questions in this round. I answered 7 of them correctly, all were very easy. Had no idea of the eighth one. I was not selected in the final round. Out of 6, they took 3 interns.
Have a good CGPA(Cumulative Grade Point Average), there is lot of weightage for it in Microsoft internship interview process.
Few tips :
- Brush up the basics of Data Structures and Algorithms.
- Have a good CGPA.
All in all, a good learning experience and will come back strong next year.
Cheers !!!!
