I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Microsoft (Montreal, QC) in Sep 2016
Interview
After meeting on campus at a school job fair, I was invited to an on campus interview. It was half an hour long and I was asked to solve easy questions to. I think he was more interested in my way of thinking and problem-solving ability, than a correct solution to the problem. Then, I was told that I'm accepted for the next level and they will let me know as soon as they have a spot. They never found an interview spot to me! I get a feeling that they don't reject anyone from the interview. They keep everyone on their list, just in case, they need them at some point.
Straightforward technical loop overall, with strong interviewers at every stage. I genuinely enjoyed the in-depth conversations around technical challenges and algorithmic problem-solving — the entire process felt well-structured and genuinely engaging.
The interview was a long process. There was first the recruiter screen, which was followed by a 4-loop interview structure that covered technical, behavioral, and system design. The interviewers were very kind and accommodating.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft
Interview
After my application to ClipChamp - Microsoft, a recruiter reached out and scheduled my first interview. It was about basic interview questions and background analysis. After that I had my technical interview. The recruiter specifically said that I would be facing medium hacker rank questions. So I prepared accordingly. However, what I actually got was to analyse an application and re work it according to new requirements. I felt like I was set up for failure on purpose. Didn’t even hear back after that interview.
