Candidate #1 Microsoft Interview Experience

Job Role – SDE -II

Status – Selected

I’ve recently applied for the Microsoft SDE-II job role and one fine day I got a Mail from the Microsoft team asking me to appear for the Online Coding round. As Covid is running around my Microsoft Interview process was conducted virtually.

Round 1 – Online Coding Round

In this round, I was asked 2 coding questions and was given a time limit of 90 mins. And candidates who got scores of more than 50% were shortlisted for further process. I would like to evaluate the difficulty level of this round from moderate to difficult.

Round 2 – Technical Round (Face to Face – Virtually)

Once I’m done with my online coding round scores were given, I know I was shortlisted for the next round. As you guys may already be aware the in Microsoft Recruitment process there will be multiple technical rounds. So, check out my Microsoft Technical Interview Experience.

In Microsoft Technical Round, 2 coding-related questions were asked, the interviewer asked me to write the code for them.

1. Given an encoded string, return its decoded string.

2. Print cousins of a given node in Binary Tree (Given a binary tree and a node, print all cousins of a given node. Note that siblings should not be printed.)

I felt this round moderate in difficulty level. Even though I wasn’t sure about the code, the interviewer is friendly enough to explain the concept and allowed me to think and write a code. So, don’t get nervous.

Round 2 – Technical Round

In this round, initially, the interviewer introduced himself and asked about me (my educational background, my projects, and other things). Then after some time, he asked questions related to Data Structures and other core subjects. And then, a few coding-related questions were asked.

1. Diagonal Traversal of Binary Tree (Consider lines of slope -1 passing between nodes. Given a Binary Tree, print all diagonal elements in a binary tree belonging to the same line.)

2. Check if a given Binary Tree is SumTree (Write a function that returns true if the given Binary Tree is SumTree else false.)

3. Print all the possible permutations of a string. Then he asked me to modify my code so that there were no duplicates.

4. To print all the subsequences of a string.

5. Provide a low-level design (Design a call-center system such that when you receive a call from a user, they provide you either their phone number or Name, how would you perform a fast search for retrieving other information about the user.)

Round 3: Technical Round

In this round, the interviewer asked me for a high-level design. Design a system that identifies whether a sentence contains words that are not audience sensitive. Assume that you have a database of words that are violent/ not audience sensitive.

Round 4: HR Round

Microsoft HR Round is similar to other companies’ HR round. The HR manager was friendly, he asked me to share my resume. He took time to go through it and in the meanwhile asked me to tell about myself. To know my overall Microsoft HR Interview Experience do check out the following questions that I’ve faced.

1. Things/ Projects that I’ve worked on from scratch.

2. Internships I’ve worked and challenges I’ve faced and how I overcame them.

3. Questions on the work culture of Microsoft

4. What will I contribute to Microsoft

After asking me a few other HR questions then the round has winded up in 30-35 mins. And few days I got a mail stating that I’ve been selected for the SDE-II for which I’ve applied (My happiness knows no bounds).

Round 1: Online Coding Round (Assessment)

The first round is the online assessment round, 2 coding questions were asked. The main advantage for candidates in this round is that Microsoft officials will be given priority to the candidates who complete the task in time rather than score.

1. Given a tree of N nodes(0 as the root). Each node contains either ‘A’ or ‘B’. Return the longest path of the tree such that no to consecutive letter of that path is the same. (Either “ABABA..” OR “BABABA”). Ans – Pretty standard DFS question. Calculate the answer for each node as a root (sum of 2 best child subtree+1) and return the longest path (longest child subtree+1). Maximize the answer.

2. There are N cities. Cities are connected by road. (Basically given a graph). K of the cities has a hospital(Given an array of size K). Time taken to reach a hospital from a city is no of edges to the nearest city which contains a hospital. Find the maximum time taken to reach a hospital from all the N cities. Ans – (Just do a normal multi-point BFS and store the distance of every city and return the maximum one).

I greeted the interviewer, and later he introduced himself and asked random questions myself.

1. He asked me to tell him about my project.
