Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite segnalazione di un dipendente. La procedura ha richiesto 6 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Microsoft (Redmond, WA) nel mese di mar 2019
Colloquio
Manager reached out to me via email from LinkedIn. Gave me a choice between on-site screen and phone screen. Went on-site, guy was super friendly. Asked unusual behavioural questions but was a refreshing change. Asked a very easy coding question then a very difficult one. The guy didn't know C++ and had never seen his question solved the way I did it so couldn't really determine if my solution was correct or not. Moved onto on-site loop a few weeks later. Only had 3 interviews planned, but a 4th was added part way through the day with the hiring manager (as app). The questions were all reasonably simple with difficult constraints added before coding. LeetCode medium/hard level for sure. The recruiter reached out with an offer the next day. I was able to negotiate well because I had a competing offer.

Domanda 1
NDA but LeetCode is a very accurate prep platform for Microsoft.

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

Colloquio
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.
