Interview
I talked to them at a university career fair and was given an interview 3 weeks later. The questions asked were both behavioral and technical, with very common behavioral, team-oriented questions. The technical questions were centered around what you have had experience with so they can gauge where you are and what interests you have. The main coding question was a bit difficult though.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Write a function that takes a linked list ordered as a normal link list, while also having an alternate order (alternate_next ptr for each), and copies it, preserving it's normal order as well as it's alternate order.
Straightforward technical loop overall, with strong interviewers at every stage. I genuinely enjoyed the in-depth conversations around technical challenges and algorithmic problem-solving — the entire process felt well-structured and genuinely engaging.
The interview was a long process. There was first the recruiter screen, which was followed by a 4-loop interview structure that covered technical, behavioral, and system design. The interviewers were very kind and accommodating.

Interview
After my application to ClipChamp - Microsoft, a recruiter reached out and scheduled my first interview. It was about basic interview questions and background analysis. After that I had my technical interview. The recruiter specifically said that I would be facing medium hacker rank questions. So I prepared accordingly. However, what I actually got was to analyse an application and re work it according to new requirements. I felt like I was set up for failure on purpose. Didn’t even hear back after that interview.
