It was a good process. I met lots of people. They asked lots of finance-related questions. We had lunch. I met lots of other candidates. It was a good experience.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (None)
Interview
The interview process had 3 stages, the first stage and the final stage which consisted of 2 interviews with a total of 4 interviewers. The overall experience was good and the interviewers made me feel more at ease.
My advice is, just be yourself, research a lot, fall in love with the company and the role and let passion and preparation speak for you!
Wishing you success!
