J'ai postulé via un établissement d'enseignement supérieur ou universitaire. Le processus a pris 2 mois. J'ai passé un entretien chez Microsoft (Seattle, WA) en oct. 2015
Entretien
I briefly chatted with a recruiter during a school career fair and dropped my resume. I was contacted for an on-campus screening interview the very next day. This interview was fairly smooth, but I then heard nothing for more than a month. At this point, I assumed that I had been filtered out on the first round. However, I received an email from the recruiter informing me that I would soon be scheduled for an on-site interview. Again, this was followed by radio silence for another month, at which point I had basically given up. More than two months after the first screen I finally got an on-site scheduled in Seattle, which consisted of 4 interviews (3 technical, 1 behavioral) over the course of a day. The interviewers and recruiters were nice, but it was still somewhat frustrating having my application hang in limbo for so long.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Technical: questions about trees of different kinds (building, maintaining, and walking binary trees and special variants). Asked to pseudocode an efficient algorithm for processing and reassembling data from possibly overlapping TCP packets.
Behavioral: Mostly standard questions about projects I had listed on my resume (e.g. 'tell me about a time when you had to balance stakeholders in design of a product . . .')

After submitting an online application, I received a HackerRank assessment after passing the resume screening stage, then I was rejected after completing the assessment and did not proceed to further interview rounds.

45 mins technical interview with a member of their San fran team. Very relaxed and informal but questions were focused and lots of follow ups. Easy to schedule as was over video conferencing platform

Entretien
Straightforward technical loop overall, with strong interviewers at every stage. I genuinely enjoyed the in-depth conversations around technical challenges and algorithmic problem-solving — the entire process felt well-structured and genuinely engaging.
