J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 5 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Microsoft en juill. 2010
Entretien
Certainly, the best experience in my professional life.
Every interview was friendly, clean, time moderated, and contained hints leading me to right answers.
Phone screen: few questions on general OS internals, like "describe the context switch" + one brain teaser from well-known book "How to move Fuji mountain" - must read, btw.
Face2face is even more friendly, in relaxing environment, with extremely friendly people.
Mostly typical questions like "reverse linked list". I would recommend to read "Introduction to algorithms" and "Hacker's Delight" before face2face.

Started with a recruiter phone call and a 30 minute phone call with the hiring manager to negotiate a remote role since the job was based in Seattle and the manager agreed. Following up with five rounds of virtual on site. Four of them are coding/design. One of them is behavioral mostly leetcode medium level questions which I finished and I was able to do all the follow up and answer the design and time complexity questions correctly after the interview got ghosted for a whole month and got an automatic rejection email.
