Microsoft Developer Support Engineer interview questions

I was interviewed in 2012 and had been through 7 rounds of interviews. Initial 2 rounds were technical and 5 rounds of managerial interviews. Initial 5 interviews were important while last two rounds just felt like formality.

The interview by Microsoft is a long process. Standard is to have around 7-8 rounds of interview. Every interview round opens the gate for next round if cleared else full stop. The rounds are as follows: -Written test( 60 minutes) -> basics of computer science like OS + concepts clarity on. Net, and any. Net language like c#, vb. Net. Other topics like asp. Net, wpf, wcf etc. -1st technical round- 30 to 60 minutes depending on for which you have applied. -2nd technical round- this is a very indepth technical round taken by the highest technical people of the team. It can stretch from 90 min. to 120 min. -communication round-15 min. To test customer handling and command over the language. -Managerial round- 20 to 40 min. - the fit in the Microsoft culture and team would be tested. - Group managerial round- 20 to 45 min. - to see the genuineness of the candidate. - Director round ( rarely taken) - this is just like group manager round. - HR round- this round is to know about your expectations and to discuss the responsibilities for the role, and then finally salary discussion. =======
