I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Dublin, Dublin) in Aug 2021
Interview
The first round interview was a 30 min virtual interview which was set up on Microsoft Teams. It had mostly behavioural questions such as: "What do you think makes a good programmer?" and "What are some of the Microsoft technologies that you use" (this would have a follow-up to ask for an improvement upon that technology if you name one). This interview would end with a brain teaser/problem that you are given 10-ish minutes to solve. They may not necessarily be looking for the right answer, but they do want you to think the process out loud. The interviewer did a great job at making me feel comfortable and confident!

Question 1
I had a technical interview where I was asked to solve the classic 'Climbing Stairs' problem (LeetCode #70), which is a dynamic programming question based on the Fibonacci sequence.
One HR interview, then two problem-solving interviews (beginer level) on HackerRank. You can choose the best programming language for you to use in solving problems. You should think out loud to enable your interviewer to understand how you would think to solve the problem.
