I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Seattle, WA) in Oct 2017
Interview
On-line application on Microsoft website, followed by a phone interview going through my resume and doing a puzzle, followed by an on-site interview in Seattle. Honestly one of the best experiences of my life, but unfortunately I went unprepared because I had never had a technical interview before, but it really changed my perspective regarding interviewing for software engineers. If you are preparing, using a website like leetcode and try to do as many questions as possible before the interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
During the phone interview, the puzzle they asked me was about distinguishing a marble of slightly different weight out of 9, using a scale a maximum of 2 times.
Easy 2 back to back interviews both leetcode medium. Second one was a bit more challenging, need to know how to sort without enough space. Other than that smooth process
A leetcode style test with three problems, then three interviews with different managers ( for each it was a coding problem and behavioral questions). Each interview was 1 hour long
