I applied online. I interviewed at Microsoft (Seattle, WA)
Interview
There are two Interview Process the first round was a phone interview asking some behavioral questions and then a technical question, you choose the language you wanna write your code in. If you passed you will go to the second round which they fly you in and give you three interviews of hardcore technical questions
I met the recruiter in February and got an interview on campus which had 1 algorithm question. However they said they were full for the season and told me to apply again in August. I did and I got into the final round on site interview. This consisted of lunch and then 4 interviews with 2 different teams. There were 3 that were leetcode easy-medium and one leetcode hard. Its important to talk out loud while thinking and test your code.
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Microsoft (Dublin, Dublin) in Jul 2018
Interview
No HR only my team manager. Really pleasant experience. Really relaxed interview with walking tour around the building. Manager was relaxed and dress code is smart casual. Had conversation more about me and my previous job than what I will be doing there.
