Me postulé en línea. Acudí a una entrevista en Microsoft (Redmond, WA)
Entrevista
Recruiter contacted me and asked some basic questions ("Why do you want to work on this team," etc.), followed with a technical phone screening; I was told they wanted to fly me out to Seattle the same day. Had a full day of on-site interviews - meeting with the recruiter, manager of the team, 3 technical interviews, and a lunch interview (total of 6). Overall all of the interviewers were very friendly and knew how to jog a person's memory without giving them an answer.
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.
