Microsoft Phone Assessment

I was contacted by the HR multiple times for a Software Engineer position at Microsoft Azure, so I took the interview with really less preparation.

It was a telephonic round with no behaviorial questions. The Interviewer directly asked me to solve coding problems after "Tell me About Yourself"

Problem 1: Given an array that is sorted descending order. Find the index of the element greater than the target number

""I was happy to see this question and solved it right away. The interviewer seemed happy with my asnwer too!""

Problem 2: Given an array find the length of the longest subarray whose first element is greater than the last element

Example:
Input:A:[-2,1,5,7,-1,-5]
Output: 5
Explanation : [-2 ... -1]

Input : [2,2,2]
Output: 0
Explanation: No such subArray

""I was able to give a brute force solution quickly and then the interviewer asked me to come up with a 0(nlogn) solution.
Unfortunately I was not able to complete it. ""

"" Heads up maybe? I was given a codeShare Link. The interviewer was typing in the question while explaining it over the call. It caused a huge problem because the tool did not update the content she was typing at my end. Because of the lag in viewing the question and re-explaining the question after it appeared etc. It costed me valuable minutes during the interview.""

Verdict :Rejected .I will definitely practice more and give a try

Thank You
