      Software Developer Engineer Intern Interview

      7 Jan 2014
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Gainesville, FL
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Microsoft (Gainesville, FL) in Feb 2013

      Interview

      I applied just before my university's Career Fair, and was asked to interview almost immediately on campus. They asked several personal questions about why I liked to program and a couple behavioral questions. All the questions that followed were technical by nature and seemed pretty standard. My first question was related to strings. I was to create a method to reverse the words of a string. i.e., "Hello World" => "World Hello"

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Another question they asked was database related, which I have nearly no knowledge of. They asked how I would handle a scenario of retrieving data from a database, then storing it within a data structure. The data from the database included customers' names and the items they previously purchased from Microsoft.
