I applied through university. I interviewed at Microsoft (Dublin, Dublin) in Jan 2020
Interview
There were three steps but I didnt pass the first one, also there was a code test with problem solving questions that I could solve in any language. It is timed and we can access internet for any help at all
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why Microsoft, What did you do in college, What can you bring to the company
I applied online. I interviewed at Microsoft (Melbourne)

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.

Question 1
The assessment consisted of two LeetCode-medium-level coding questions to be completed within 75 minutes.
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
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.
