Question 1
Why Should We Employ You? Where Do You Desire To Be Five Years From Now?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Microsoft (Români) in May 2022
Interview
First step was a Leetcode test which contained 3 algorithms, from easy to medium difficulty. If you scored more than 60% you are admitted to the next stage. Afterwards there were 3 technical interviews and 1 for growth mindset. There were 2 algorithms in the interviews and one was more about architecture. Other questions were related to experience and the technologies which were optional to know about but for me were a plus and probably the reason I was accepted, since I was a bit more rusty on the algorithmic side. The atmosphere was good to great, people laugh and encourage you to ask questions and be as vocal as possible.
