Me postulé en línea. Acudí a una entrevista en Microsoft (Australia Plains) en abr 2026
Entrevista
Step 0: the recruiter sends you an email for scheduling a call with her/him + technical topics to be covered by 3 short questions asked by the hiring team
Step 1: HR call - describing the role and team. and asks 3 technical questions
Step 2: Coding interview with one of the engineers in the team. The live coding is taking place in HackerRank - LC questions. Make sure you are familiar with the platform. There are NO examples in the interview itself
Unfortunately, my interviewer confused me with the examples, and I couldn't really understand which rate limiter implementation is required (fixed, window, sliding window, token bucket etc.)
