I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Microsoft (Boston, MA) in Nov 2023
Interview
the interview process was extremely easy, we talked a little about myself and my goals and the rest of the time we spent it talking about my projects. therefore, I would recommend studding your projects extremely well so you can about them in depth and answer any questions if they have any.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is your experience with machine learning frameworks?
The interview is about research, takes about 1 h, after that I didnt hear anything back even with followup emails. The recruitment portal is useless, and it never got updated. There is even no HR just with one of the team member from that group.
The Microsoft Research interview focuses on deep discussion of past research, probing technical understanding, experimental design, and reasoning. Expect open-ended problem solving, possible light coding, and evaluation of research maturity and motivation.

After I sent the initial email to the recruiter expressing my interest in the position, I received a detailed reply three days later. We have now successfully scheduled an introductory meeting via Microsoft Teams to discuss the opportunity further.
