Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Microsoft (Londra, Inghilterra)
Colloquio
General recruiter call, lead to behavioural, lead to phone technical. Conversation flowed smoothly. Typical leetcode question, I would say medium level. It had a few follow up general technicals, like "How would you optimize a database query for large datasets?" because it matches my experience. Overall, it was a positive.

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.
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.

Colloquio
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.
