Interview Details

What did the interview consist of?
1 on 1 Interview
Please describe the interview / hiring process.
So, I applied through MS website for the same position before, and got rejected. But applied again through my schools's career website, and I was accepted for an interview. We(selected candidates) had a pre-interview meeting the night before the interview, just to get to know about the firm, and its people, and if we had any questions. The next morning, I had my one on one interview with a director. It was one on one.

I would say the two main reasons why I never made it to the second round was because, 1. It was my first ever interview with a big company, and secondly, which kind of built up from the first reason was that I wanted it to be so perfect, that I almost memorized a lot of answers.* But as soon as I walked in, the questions, were not as expected, or a little twisted, and I was very nervous, so I messed up, and the interview lasted only for 10-12 minutes, whereas it was supposed to last for around 30 minutes. What I learne from it was that , it is really crucial to be really calm and not nervous when you are interviewing with the company you really want to be a part of, and let them know who you really are, and not be fake and pretentious. It does help.

*One more reason why it wasn't that pleasant of an experience was because as soon as I walked in, the director told me that he didn't have enough time, and was in a hurry, and that also added more to the nervousness.
