J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 2 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Microsoft (Plantation, FL) en avr. 2025
Entretien
The process began with a 30-minute recruiter screening that focused on my background and interest in the role. I was then scheduled for a technical coding round over Zoom where I was asked to solve a couple of algorithmic problems in real-time using a shared code editor. After passing that round, I had a full-day virtual onsite interview which included a system design interview, a behavioral interview with the hiring manager, and a technical deep dive with a senior engineer. Overall, it was well-structured and gave me a good sense of the team's expectations and culture.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
How would you design a scalable URL shortening service like Bitly?
The interview was a long process. There was first the recruiter screen, which was followed by a 4-loop interview structure that covered technical, behavioral, and system design. The interviewers were very kind and accommodating.

After my application to ClipChamp - Microsoft, a recruiter reached out and scheduled my first interview. It was about basic interview questions and background analysis. After that I had my technical interview. The recruiter specifically said that I would be facing medium hacker rank questions. So I prepared accordingly. However, what I actually got was to analyse an application and re work it according to new requirements. I felt like I was set up for failure on purpose. Didn’t even hear back after that interview.
Took a bit longer than I thought, spanning about three weeks from start to finish. After a quick recruiter screen, I had a technical round where I was asked about validating a binary search tree. The wild part is, I had literally seen this exact problem on prachub.com while prepping. It helped me feel more confident discussing my approach and edge cases. There was also a behavioral interview where I shared my experiences, and eventually, I received an offer. I chose to decline it, though, as it wasn't the right fit for me at the time.
