Fairly straightforward intro interview with a recruiter. They asked basics like when i'm graduating and what I'm looking for in a role. They did not move me to the next round, not sure what for.

I interviewed at Microsoft (Copenhagen, Capital Region)
Interview
Online, in due fasi in cui vengono esposti problemi di programmazione svolgibili in qualsiasi linguaggio di programmazione. Il primo è risultato molto semplice il secondo molto difficile. La piattaforma era molto ben fatta.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (New York, NY) in Sept 2024
Interview
The interview process consisted of an initial phone screen with a recruiter, followed by a technical interview with an engineer. The technical portion included two coding problems that I worked through on a shared online editor while explaining my approach. After completing the problems, there was time for me to ask questions about the team and role. The entire process took about three weeks from application to final decision.
