J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 4 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Microsoft en juil. 2015
Entretien
It was described to me to be split into three parts. First of all there was a quick chat with the recruiter who basically digested the CV with me as reference so that he could then present it to the hiring manager. The hiring manager was interested and then there was a telephone interview organised. This was mostly just a general chat about experience and then a very small technical element. Unfortunately I was super super prepared for a problem solving question but he simply asked "How does the internet work?", which took me completely by surprised and I answered terribly. Still I personally am not sure about asking that question for someone who is all about problem solving. Also its a question that could be answered after about 5 minutes of Google-ing!
With regards to the recruiter though, he was excellent, super responsive and eager to help!

Entretien
Started with a recruiter phone call and a 30 minute phone call with the hiring manager to negotiate a remote role since the job was based in Seattle and the manager agreed. Following up with five rounds of virtual on site. Four of them are coding/design. One of them is behavioral mostly leetcode medium level questions which I finished and I was able to do all the follow up and answer the design and time complexity questions correctly after the interview got ghosted for a whole month and got an automatic rejection email.
