The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Microsoft (Bellevue, WA) in Oct 2009
Interview
Had one phone interview with a developer who asked about reversing a string. Got an on-campus interview a few weeks later. Had 5 interviews with 5 different testers and team members. I was asked both testing and coding questions. The first interview was with a tester who asked me to test a safety card hanging on the wall. I was asked a linked list question during the next interview and coded on a white board. The third interview was a lunch interview. The guy seemed to be in a hurry because he asked me two easy coding questions before heading to lunch which made me more nervous. The forth interview was a higher level question about a 12 sided di and how many colors it took to color it. The last interview was with a tester who just asked a few 'get to know you' questions including why should I hire you. Overall a good experience.
Write an algorithm to pick the mayor of a town. There is a random number that is chosen and every nth person on the list is deleted until the mayor is chosen.
