I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Microsoft (Prag) in Apr 2021
Interview
There were 4 interviews in total 45 minute each through teams, due to COVID-19. The first two were more technical and also included a live code challenge. The other two were also technical but more theoretical and aimed to understand my way of thinking and solving problems
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
A small presentation, general questions about my self , my personality and my previous job experience. An average coding challenge, basically to create an algorithm that performs some actions
Interview process itself was good but 20 days after my interview I still had not heard from the recruiter. When I reached out she said they were extending an offer. I received the offer via email with no call from her. When i told her I had questions she said she was busy and asked if we could just discuss via email. Overall a terrible experience with recruiting to received and accept an offer. I am excited to join Microsoft but they don't seem to care about candidate experience.
I applied online. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA) in Feb 2019
Interview
I had a phone screen with a recruiter, phone screen with team manager, and then on site. I interviewed with several different team leads on the team I applied to.
