I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Microsoft (Legon) in Sep 2018
Interview
I applied online when Microsoft's west african recruiter looked up my linkedin profile. I ask her a few questions about the opportunity and she was very helpful. I applied and I made the shortist. The interview was scheduled on my campus. Process was fairly straightforward as I made the shortlist for the technical interview. But the interviewer hit me up later and asked about my graduation status(whether I already have my certificate). Told him no since I was in my final year back then. Told him it will be available in July 2019. Fast forward into 2019, I received a link for the same opportunity but refused to apply(which would have sent me straight for the technical part). I already got recruited by a local company during my last month and I agreed to work for them.
I interviewed at Microsoft (Copenhague, Hovedstaden)
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.
- Had a 10-minute initial interview discussing relocation and salary
- Followed up with a 30-minute technical interview with a coding task, which they struggled with initially but eventually solved
- Received an offer after multiple rounds, showcasing the importance of persistence and preparation
