MicroStrategy Technical Support Engineer interview questions

1. HR Recruiter call 2. Phone interview 3. On-site interview The interviewers were very helpful in answer questions that I had about the company and how the company has grown since they have joined. They asked me some technical questions at understand what my skill level was at. Some SQL and networking questions were asked.

After receiving a referral through a friend, I was called by HR for a pre-screen. This consisted of basic behavioral questions as to what I was looking for in the job and general information. Afterwards a phone interview was set up. The phone interview was behavioral as well, except for the last portion which was a brain teaser. How can you cut a cake into 8 equal pieces using only 3 cuts? The phone interview brain teaser is tricky because they're more interested in how you think vs. the correct answer. It can be hard to convey your thinking process without being in front of someone, but just be sure to talk your way through things and indicate what you're thinking. It was tense, but I got the answer in the end. If you make it past the phone interview, you'll get to the interview on-site at HQ. There were 3 interviews with various levels of management. All 3 started as behavioral, but ended up in a brain teaser. I can't remember exactly what they were, but one was about a race track and what speed you need to go to achieve a certain average, another was about how to efficiently get people to cross a bridge when they can only move at certain speeds under certain criteria, and the last was about solving for the weight of an object given the weights of other objects. The behavioral interview portion is easy. The Support group is young and fun, so it's not hard to hit the right notes. The brain teasers are tricky, but just be very clear on what you're thinking and speak openly with the person interviewing you. If you're able to get through all interviews and are successful with the brain teasers, you should receive an offer.
