I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Helsinki, Southern Finland) in Apr 2020
Interview
Super professional and friendly recruiters. I felt taken care of at any time of the 1 month recruitment process. Two recruiters called me time to time and were prepared to answer any questions I had. They explained coming events/interviews in detail and made sure I knew what was going to happen next. They also informed about next steps always in 1 to 2 days, so there was no waste of time.
