I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Microsoft in Feb 2020
Interview
Went really well. Interviewers asked poingant questions about my background and really took the time to explain the position to me. Some technical questions were asked as well. Many of the questions centered around my background in computers.
Applied for position. After 3 weeks a team member reached out and did phone screening. Heard back from recruiter next morning that 4 interviews will be scheduled. All rounds technical/coding/system design. 2 with potential team leads, 1 with hiring manager, 1 with test manager. Results after 3 weeks.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Prag) in Nov 2022
Interview
No problems with technical interview, I'd rate is an average. All Interviewers were smart engineers asking me about problems very close to their real cases. HR work is a bit unorganized, from the beginning the most important thing for them was my current salary or my salary expectation, very long process of negotiations.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Real project problems, as expected - algorithms, data structures, system design.
