Microsoft Phone Interview - Not successful
I had a phone interview with Microsoft Redmond last week. It was quite suprising to receive
their phone call. But I tried my best to answer the questions early in the morning.
They originally told me it would be around 5.15 p.m. in US, and should be after 17 hours which
was 10.15 a.m. Malaysia time. They called me at 8.15 a.m. in Malaysia. So I was actually sleeping
at that time.
Anyway I received an email today from them. I did not make it for further interviews.
It was a good try. Cool. I had been to a Microsoft Redmond email and phone interview before.
I will never give up trying to join Microsoft in coming future.
My Phone Interview Questions:
Interviewer: SDET from Windows File Core System
1. Do you have a full time 4 years degree?
2. Which university?
3. From the website, 4 kinds of positions. What are your primary
and secondary choices? (Program Manager, Software Design
Engineer, Software Design Engineer in Testing and Software Test
Engineer)
4. Problem Solving: 2 strings.
String1 = “Hello”
String2 = “eo”
How to check the duplicate characters from string2 in string1 and
then remove it?
5. Brain Teaser: You are in a room. You have 1 question to ask and
need to know the way to heaven. There are 2 doors. A door to
heaven and a door to hell. There are 2 people in the room. One
will tell you the right door to heaven (if you ask where is
heaven?) and one will always tell lie.
6. Test Cases: A new building with 2 elevators (lifts). How are you
supposed to test these elevators?
Cheers.
