MS Internship Interview

[tatteredpotato]

I have an on-campus interview lined up next week with MS... Has anyone here had experience with MS internship interviews? I have a BS at an unranked school, but I'm in my first semester in a MS program in ECE at a top 10 school. This is still a first round deal on campus, so I'm not going to get to excited yet but I'm curious as to what kind of questions they ask. I have about a week to prepare.

My resume indicates I'm primarily interested in low-level software (systems programming). I'm indicating my primary interests are in the Entertainment and Devices Division (xbox, zune, winphone 7, xna, etc).

do they ask if you have ever pirated their software?

I've done interviews with them before. They're pretty standard cs interviews, algorithm and language-based questions. So stuff like finding the max subarray or certain aspects of Java, C++, etc. Microsoft programs in C#.

Make sure you can back up everything you put on your resume. If you say you know C++, they will put you on the spot and ask you to write pseudocode for a certain function.
