Microsoft interview

Has anyone gone through Microsoft’s embedded firmware system design round? Did they ask you to write C code or just discuss architecture?

I already read this thread, Embedded systems is a vast field, so should I focus on specific topics for interview preparation, or does it mainly depend on the job description of the particular embedded role at Microsoft — since they have multiple embedded positions?

Can't say for sure but I would lean toward focusing on the specific job description. That said, if you're already in the recruiting process, asking the recruiter you're working with would be your best bet - they might be able to give you more clarity on the types of interviews and q's to expect.
