I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Microsoft (Albany, NY) in Oct 2015
Interview
30min. No self introduction... Go to coding directly. ORZ. I solved only one problem. And 5min is to aks questions. Actually I want to ask the salary, but, you know, I need to focus on the other aspect first. Then I ask some product related questions about surface book. The guy is nice and patient. Gave me quite a lot hint and assist me the thinking process.
