J'ai postulé via la recommandation d'un employé. Le processus a pris 4 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Microsoft en nov. 2012
Entretien
HR called me. Since I was local, instead of phone screen, she arranged me to come on site. Talked to 2 hiring group leads. One proceeded for a real onsite interview.
The onsite interview took almost 2 weeks to schedule (by someone else). I was supposed to meet 3 people. The person I was supposed to meet at the reception desk didn't come. I talked the 2 who came to meet me. Both super nice. We talked for ~15 minutes, then I was given a problem to think about. An hour later, two of them came and asked if I had any questions. After lunch, discussed my solution/ideas with them separately. They both seemed like my ideas (two of which they haven't thought of). Seems all went exceedingly well so far. Then 3 1-1 interview with white board coding. I didn't do well on any of them. 2 weeks later, after I contacted the HR, and was given a schedule when I could talk to her. She told me NO.

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.
