The company comes to my institute for the campus drive. The campus drive includes online coding round, followed by 2 technical rounds, followed by HR round. Clearing all the rounds gets you the offer from the company.
I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (San Francisco, CA) in Oct 2020
Interview
Interviewer was very nice and straightforward. We talked briefly about my background and quickly worked n the coding assessment. Interviewer gave assistance, such as asking guiding questions when I struggled at some parts. I was allowed to look up documentation.
I applied online. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Microsoft (Copenhague, Hovedstaden)
Interview
I applied through the company portal. There were 3 steps: first, 3 coding exercises on Codility (80mins) followed by a phone screen that included general and semi-technical questions in late November. In February, I was invited to the final round of interviews a month later. There were four 1:1 interviews, each 45mins with 15mins break, starting with ice-breakers and then a task in Codility. I had a confirmation one week after the interviews. There was some back and forth when it came to signing the contract but, in the end, everything was non-negotiable, which I wasn't happy with. My manager-to-be contacted me 2 weeks prior and only then I have learned what team I'm joining and what tech I'll use (X++).
TL;DR: long processing time, no indication of what the tech stack is
