I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft in Jun 2021
Interview
Very bad experience as the screening interview was outsourced to a separate company (not from Microsoft). Questions involved were for instance "scales and splitting a 20KG rock into 4 so you can measure from 3-40KG" IIRC. The behavioural interview thus did not at all evaluate my eligibility for the position.
