Me postulé a través de un reclutador. El proceso tomó 4 semanas. Acudí a una entrevista en Microsoft (Redmond, WA) en may 2019
Entrevista
It was about what I was expecting for the interview process. Microsoft scheduled five interview blocks at their campus, with the fifth being As Appropriate. Each interviewer was primarily interested in evaluating how I thought through the problem as much as the answer I arrived at. There was plenty on conversation working through problems and white boarding the solutions as well. Overall, it was much more enjoyable than I thought it would have been.
