J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris plus d'une semaine. J'ai passé un entretien chez Microsoft (Redmond, WA) en mars 2023
Entretien
It started with technical difficulty with the interviewer's computer so we used mobile phones instead. Therefore, the atmosphere was informal. The questions weren't very pointed so I guided the conversation.

I felt like they were not interested from the first second and trying to find some questions to ask ad hoc. It was not bad, but nothing exciting during the interview.
