The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Microsoft (Dublin, Dublin) in Feb 2024
Interview
Overall process took around 2 months, i asked for around 2 weeks for preparation, they were kind enough to setup a meeting to know the process. It was a 3/4 round interview process, for me no one showed up for OOPs round. I sat for 45 mins, tried to email but never got a response, after that i had a system design round, Later on when i emailed the recruiter that one of the rounds didn't take place, they said they will reschedule the meeting, next week got a rejection. wasn't expecting from Microsoft as i really liked the company.

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The assessment consisted of two LeetCode-medium-level coding questions to be completed within 75 minutes.
45 mins technical interview with a member of their San fran team. Very relaxed and informal but questions were focused and lots of follow ups. Easy to schedule as was over video conferencing platform
Straightforward technical loop overall, with strong interviewers at every stage. I genuinely enjoyed the in-depth conversations around technical challenges and algorithmic problem-solving — the entire process felt well-structured and genuinely engaging.
