Me postulé a través de un reclutador. El proceso tomó 2 semanas. Acudí a una entrevista en Microsoft (Redmond, WA) en oct 2016
Entrevista
Recruiter contacted me via LinkedIn, filled out application, then recruiter scheduled me for online technical screen. Had a brief phone screen then went to onsite a couple weeks later.
Questions were not particularly difficult, maybe ranging from LeetCode easy to medium. They asked several follow-ups to questions related to SW Engineering just to see you hadn't just memorized the base solution. I had a very positive experience, the interviewers were nice and easy to interact with. I didn't have any major scheduling snafus vs my Amazon interview, which was just kind of a mess.
I interviewed with a total of four people. They were all software engineers.
Got a quick turnaround (interviewed on Friday, told me I was going to get an offer on Monday, 2-3 week process to get offer, background check).

interesting real-life use case of a data structure, with a follow-up
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.
The interview was a long process. There was first the recruiter screen, which was followed by a 4-loop interview structure that covered technical, behavioral, and system design. The interviewers were very kind and accommodating.

Entrevista
After my application to ClipChamp - Microsoft, a recruiter reached out and scheduled my first interview. It was about basic interview questions and background analysis. After that I had my technical interview. The recruiter specifically said that I would be facing medium hacker rank questions. So I prepared accordingly. However, what I actually got was to analyse an application and re work it according to new requirements. I felt like I was set up for failure on purpose. Didn’t even hear back after that interview.
