Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. La procedura ha richiesto 12 mesi. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Microsoft (Dublino, Dublino) nel mese di mar 2021
Colloquio
I interviewed for a Dublin-based position. The interview process had multiple steps. First, initial interview, then coding challenge and then a final round (4 interviews each 45 minutes).
The final round interviews were medium hard. The first was about system design - Design an endpoint for a form to collect customer feedback to a current Microsoft website.
In the other 3 interviews I was asked about how I work in a team, challenges that I have faced in the past and how I resolved them. Then each engineer (the interviewer) asked one Leetcode-like question and I had to walk them through how to code it.
Domande di colloquio [1]
Domanda 1
Q: Given an int, return a string of the formatted int. Such as given 12348, return 12,348 as a string.
Q: Given a string, return the first non-repeating character in the string.
The OA was two Leetcode Medium questions, although the difficulty seemed to vary from Easy to Medium. Optimisation was critical to pass the tests. I think it was first come first serve.

Colloquio
Short interview over the phone about the neurodiversity hiring program. The interviewer was very nice and the program is tailored to neurodiverse individuals. Adjustments allowed:
-Longer breaks between interviews.
-Don't have to tell your manager or anyone else about your neurodiverse nature.
-Don't have to prove your neurodiversity.

Generally, easy questions, but really depends on your interviewer. Format is 3 separate technical interviews. I had 1 interview where I was made to use a language I have never used before which was unlucky, but i think this is a rare case.
