I applied online. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Microsoft (Copenhagen, Capital Region)
Interview
I applied through the company portal. There were 3 steps: first, 3 coding exercises on Codility (80mins) followed by a phone screen that included general and semi-technical questions in late November. In February, I was invited to the final round of interviews a month later. There were four 1:1 interviews, each 45mins with 15mins break, starting with ice-breakers and then a task in Codility. I had a confirmation one week after the interviews. There was some back and forth when it came to signing the contract but, in the end, everything was non-negotiable, which I wasn't happy with. My manager-to-be contacted me 2 weeks prior and only then I have learned what team I'm joining and what tech I'll use (X++).
TL;DR: long processing time, no indication of what the tech stack is
3 rounds of leetcode medium, 2 questions were very easy, the last one was really hard (it was a binary tree question). They asked about space and time complexity. In terms of structures it was straight forward but the question itself was hard
Behavioural round consisted of "Tell me about yourself and why you wanna work for microsoft and resume screening. And technical interview consisted of 2 LC question 1 medium and 1 easy.
straightforward. directly jumped into data structure and algorithm and then a few fundamental computer science questions especially database management system and operating system then 2 or 3 questions related to resume.
