I applied through college or university. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Copenhagen, Capital Region) in Apr 2016
Interview
1- Started with screening in Munich (face to face), it took 1 hour.
2- The final round of interview, I had 4 interviews in Copenhagen, it took 4 hours. The interview gets harder. The better you are the harder the interview gets, they want to test your limit. Don't panic if you couldn't answer all the questions, and be yourself.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1- I was shown a modification of the Hashtable datastructure and was asked to implement insertion and deletion on it (followed by testing techniques)
2- I was given a big 2D array and I was asked to find some number in the most efficient way.
It started with a 90-minute online assessment, followed by a technical phone screen with one engineer. The OA covered two medium-to-hard algorithm problems. For coding practice, I mainly rely on "LeetCode" to cover different topics. For company-specific interview preparation, I use "Hack2Hire", "LeetCode Discuss", and "1Point3Acres" to find any recent original questions. All of them are helpful platforms. The phone screen included one coding problem and some discussion around edge cases and time complexity.

Question 1
Given a list of meeting time intervals, determine if a person could attend all meetings.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Microsoft in Dec 2024
Interview
I was invited to a technical interview with Microsoft. The interviewer started with a general question: “What happens when you type google.com into your browser?” They asked a few follow-up questions related to that.
After that, they gave me a LeetCode algorithmic question, which was at a hard level. The problem was “Integer to English Words.”

Question 1
1. What happens when you type google.com into your browser?
2. “Integer to English Words” – LeetCode algorithmic question
Three tech interviews + one hiring manager VO, most of questions are medium to hard leetcode questions. Ask some questions about techniques you written on the resume. But I think they care more about the match of the research and the job.
