Microsoft Hardware Engineer interview questions

First-round phone interview. Questions about background and project work which lasted for about 20 mins. This was followed by a relatively tricky coding question in an HDL of your choice (30 mins). Very nice and respectful interviewer. Pleasant experience.

It was a friendly proccess although didn't end up with an offer. The head of the team interviewed me personally via online. He briefly explained the purpose of the interview before going into details of my background and skills. The interview was generally easy going and I didn't feel under a lot of pressure or any unreasonable questions.
