I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Microsoft
Interview
It was a friendly proccess although didn't end up with an offer. The head of the team interviewed me personally via online. He briefly explained the purpose of the interview before going into details of my background and skills. The interview was generally easy going and I didn't feel under a lot of pressure or any unreasonable questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Questions about my skills and works I had done during my PhD.
Not too technical, only a few simple oral questions about coding skills. Other questions are behavioral, such as asking what's your biggest challenge so far or what is your strength/weakness.
I was directly invited to the final round. Three sessions followed, each lasting 45 minutes, with a 15-minute break between them. It was a rigorous process but an exciting experience overall.
Took about month to hear from them. Email described that your papers have been read and your interview is being scheduled. Next week the recruiter invites to a meeting the next day. 1st meeting with the recruiting manager. Sadly not invited to proceed. I was asked during the interviewing about skills that I did not have.
