J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 2 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Microsoft (Redmond, WA) en nov. 2008
Entretien
The hiring process consisted of an initial phone screen. There never really was any technical phone interview. I believe that at this level, the companies mainly want to gague if the individual is interested in the job or not.
The on-site interview was also quite interesting. Quite a few very senior people in the organization interviewed me and the questions were not the typical run of the mill questions. Instead the questions pertained to the problems that the interviewers were working on at that point in time. At the very end of the day, i got a chance to meet the VP and spend an hour with him. This was very encouraging.

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.
