I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Microsoft (Hong Kong) in Feb 2020
Interview
Due to Covid, I had 3 interview through MS Team.
Interviewers were nice and well organized.
However, their expectations were very high. I hv to answer the questions carefully.
Hopefully, I hit the points and my job experience matched their requirements.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Simple circuit design
power cycle affects hardware reliability
how to handle difficulties in job.
Not too technical, only a few simple oral questions about coding skills. Other questions are behavioral, such as asking what's your biggest challenge so far or what is your strength/weakness.
I was directly invited to the final round. Three sessions followed, each lasting 45 minutes, with a 15-minute break between them. It was a rigorous process but an exciting experience overall.
Took about month to hear from them. Email described that your papers have been read and your interview is being scheduled. Next week the recruiter invites to a meeting the next day. 1st meeting with the recruiting manager. Sadly not invited to proceed. I was asked during the interviewing about skills that I did not have.
