I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Microsoft (Bucarest, ) in Mar 2022
Interview
Fairly simple, but overall a long process that took over 2 and 1/2 months for 3 x 15-45 min chats. I had to follow up every time to know what’s going on and at the end I got a very inconclusive “the result is positive, but you’d be better off in another department”. A week later I saw they rejected me on the platform, that’s how I was sure of the result. Really unprofessional, especially from what I expected from Microsoft.
Interview questions [1]

I applied online. I interviewed at Microsoft (New York, NY)
Interview
First round first, followed by three interview rounds for the final round in a few weeks. Third round was 3 rounds with 5-10 mins intervals. I really loved interviewing with Microsoft. Each interviewer seemed like people I would also love to work with.
Reach out by HR recruiter, then 3 interviews with manager and team members. After interview a follow up with recruiter that I was preferred candidate and salary/bonus negotiations. This was my third time applying and first experience with interview process.
I applied through other source. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Microsoft (Sídney) in Dec 2025
Interview
It was amazing. There were three rounds. Started with phone screening, then meeting with recruiting manager, and then the director. The process was smooth. The interviews were back to back - almost everyday.
