J'ai postulé en ligne. J'ai passé un entretien chez Microsoft (Oslo) en janv. 2026
Entretien
Six interviews in total. The first was HR and the rest of them were technical or behavioral. Honestly, the process was fair up to the last interviewer that spent the entire 45 minutes in his phone, repeating words I said, many times getting the wrong idea. E.g. I have experience in bridging research with productization, and he then proceeded to tell me that they didn't have a research role open. Thank you, but this display of lack of professionalism was jaw dropping. All the other interviewers were amazing.
Feeling thrilled to have accepted the offer, I look back on this interview process as both challenging and rewarding. It began with a technical round where I tackled a complex A/B testing design question, followed by a SQL query on user retention. The final stages included a system design discussion that had me sweating, but honestly, the system design section on PracHub prepared me well. Each step pushed my limits, but the culmination was definitely worth it, landing me a role at Microsoft.
Questions d'entretien [2]
Question 1
Design an A/B test to measure the impact of a new ranking change in Bing, and explain how you would handle network interference between treatment and control users.
Write a SQL query that computes 7-day rolling user retention from a daily events table, then flags cohorts whose week-over-week retention dropped more than 10%.
Phone screen with HR/recruiter. Less than 10 mins. Very basic mostly about role fit and my background and resume. Did not hear back from them at all. Very unenthusiastic during the call

Overall 3 rounds with 2 technical and 1 managerial. The 1st round was DS and ML heavy with some analytics. The 2 nd round was resume, SQL and causal /AB experimentation. The managerial round was resume related and some behavioural questions.
