I applied online. I interviewed at Microsoft (San Francisco, CA) in Jun 2026
Interview
Fairly straightforward intro interview with a recruiter. They asked basics like when i'm graduating and what I'm looking for in a role. They did not move me to the next round, not sure what for.

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.

- 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
