I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Microsoft (Dublin, Dublin) in Feb 2022
Interview
Interview was done online on Microsoft teams, I had to be prepared for the interview before time and connect with mic and camera . I was informed earlier that I might have to share screen as interviewer might want to let me do the code for some problem(s)
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I was expecting some algorithm / coding but the interviewer talked about the product they were working about and then he asked me about my work experience. Out of my work experience he asked to define one of the coolest project I have ever worked on.
Started with a recruiter phone call and a 30 minute phone call with the hiring manager to negotiate a remote role since the job was based in Seattle and the manager agreed. Following up with five rounds of virtual on site. Four of them are coding/design. One of them is behavioral mostly leetcode medium level questions which I finished and I was able to do all the follow up and answer the design and time complexity questions correctly after the interview got ghosted for a whole month and got an automatic rejection email.
