J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 4 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Microsoft en déc. 2024
Entretien
Applying for a role at Microsoft was both an exciting and nerve-wracking journey.
Application Timeline
Oct 30: Submitted my application through the portal without a referral.
Nov 1: Received a technical assessment on Codility.
Nov 19: Got an email to schedule the virtual full-loop interview, set for Dec 3. This gave me about 15 days to prepare.
Nov 27: Received the final interview schedule and details about the interviewers.
Nov 28: Thanksgiving Break, which I missed to focus entirely on preparation and it was all worth it.
Dec 3: Interview Day.
The Interview Process
The virtual full-loop interview lasted from 10:00 a.m. to 3:15 p.m., consisting of four 45-minute rounds with sufficient breaks in between:
Round 1: A technical round consisting of a medium-level Leetcode string problem and a logic puzzle about ropes (though this wasn’t directly part of the interview).
Round 2: A cultural fit round with questions about working style preferences and behavioral scenarios.
Round 3: A technical round focused on system design, followed by a medium-level Leetcode array question.
Round 4: A discussion with the hiring manager, centered on my resume and behavioral aspects. This was a conversational and engaging round that left me feeling optimistic.
Expect a lengthy hiring process that can take at least two months from start to finish. In my experience, there was approximately one month of interviews followed by another month waiting for the final decision. Be prepared for a slow timeline, especially after completing all interview stages.
