J'ai passé un entretien chez Microsoft (Dublin, Dublin)
Entretien
After sending the CV, they send email for a HackerRank exam. Emails I received from HR were AI generated, they didn't even bothered to edit the message so it was like "Hi, My name is 'RecuiterName' and happy to....". I had a technical problem with HackerRank, even though I tried to take it on time, it was giving "Invite no longer exists" kind of error. After reaching out to recruiter, they sent another url. Then there was online interview process. In a day, there were 3 one hour long interviews where nobody cared about the personal or behavioural questions. It was obvious that they were reading questions from somewhere and not really listening my answers. After 10 minutes, they sent HackerRank url and asked me to explain and solve the question while sharing my screen. So, overall experience was not good for me.
The interview was a long process. There was first the recruiter screen, which was followed by a 4-loop interview structure that covered technical, behavioral, and system design. The interviewers were very kind and accommodating.

Entretien
After my application to ClipChamp - Microsoft, a recruiter reached out and scheduled my first interview. It was about basic interview questions and background analysis. After that I had my technical interview. The recruiter specifically said that I would be facing medium hacker rank questions. So I prepared accordingly. However, what I actually got was to analyse an application and re work it according to new requirements. I felt like I was set up for failure on purpose. Didn’t even hear back after that interview.
Took a bit longer than I thought, spanning about three weeks from start to finish. After a quick recruiter screen, I had a technical round where I was asked about validating a binary search tree. The wild part is, I had literally seen this exact problem on prachub.com while prepping. It helped me feel more confident discussing my approach and edge cases. There was also a behavioral interview where I shared my experiences, and eventually, I received an offer. I chose to decline it, though, as it wasn't the right fit for me at the time.
