J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 4 mois. J'ai passé un entretien chez Microsoft (Dublin, Dublin) en févr. 2017
Entretien
Local campus interview. Basic information + case-scenarios questions about collaboration mostly.
On-site interview. 4 rounds of 45 min each. Every round consisted of an introduction of the interviewer, a few personal questions, programming challenges, testing questions. In between interviews, us interviewees had a chance to talk and get some refreshments. Everyone was kind, and overall I got a good impression.
