I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft in Oct 2021
Interview
There was an initial technical interview, and then after was a final round interview. It included a technical and then a discussion with a few employees in which they asked you more about your previous work. This component was a little bit difficult since I wasn't really prepared to be quizzed on previous work and considering applying their solutions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Did you ever consider X solution to solve your ML research problem? Why do you think it would or wouldn't work?
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Londres, Inglaterra) in Dec 2021
Interview
The Process of the interview started off really good I was enjoying the experience however I felt that the interviewer just wanted to get over it quickly. I felt like this because the interviewer was not even leaving me enough time to try and think to come up with a reasonable answer?
It was a string problem. The problem wasn't too hard, and the interviewer was patient. I did not have to actually use the test cases. The interviewer just asked me to talk it through.
