J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 1 semaine. J'ai passé un entretien chez Microsoft (Prague) en nov. 2016
Entretien
The interview has three rounds, first is just a simple Skype pre-screening. It's not technical, it's just to get to know you a little bit and give you an opportunity to ask questions about the company and project. Then there is a one hour technical Skype interview. Apart from answering technical questions, you will write simple code pieces to a shared notepad. And if this goes well you get to the final round which longs four hours during which you meet four different people. Each will interview you for about 45 minutes, then you have a break before another one.
The people I've met were quite friendly and easy going. With each one I have written some code on white board. Typically, just one function or one data model that you were improving or modifying afterwards. You should think loud and be able to describe how you would test your code. Otherwise it wasn't difficult.
The feedback was very prompt after each round. I had the result the other day. Overall my experience is very positive.

Question 1
Most of the questions were standard technical things. One interesting question was what should be changed if a client had an in-premise solution and decided to move it to the cloud.

Entretien
Straightforward technical loop overall, with strong interviewers at every stage. I genuinely enjoyed the in-depth conversations around technical challenges and algorithmic problem-solving — the entire process felt well-structured and genuinely engaging.
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.
