Two video calls. Talk about own research paper and presentation. Talk about other papers and QA. No coding involved, no recruiter call, no online assessment. Smooth experience overall, two calls done within 2 weeks.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What's your paper about, and some further questions on my paper.
The interview is about research, takes about 1 h, after that I didnt hear anything back even with followup emails. The recruitment portal is useless, and it never got updated. There is even no HR just with one of the team member from that group.
The Microsoft Research interview focuses on deep discussion of past research, probing technical understanding, experimental design, and reasoning. Expect open-ended problem solving, possible light coding, and evaluation of research maturity and motivation.
I applied online. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA)
Interview
After I sent the initial email to the recruiter expressing my interest in the position, I received a detailed reply three days later. We have now successfully scheduled an introductory meeting via Microsoft Teams to discuss the opportunity further.
