El proceso tomó 6 días. Acudí a una entrevista en Microsoft (New York, NY)
Entrevista
Applied for a frontend position but was interviewed by a backend only developer and asked data structure questions. Only one of the questions pertained to the frontend which was odd since it was a frontend position and my background is frontend. The interview did not pertain to the skills listed on the job description. It was more focused on how recently the applicant has done leetcode problems rather than the skills in the job description.
Me postulé a través de un reclutador. El proceso tomó 2 semanas. Acudí a una entrevista en Microsoft (Bellevue, WA) en abr 2016
Entrevista
I got contacted by a recruiter and applied that position online. Then we scheduled a phone screen in a week.
In the phone interview, we went over my resume quickly and jumped to skill testing part very soon to solve an algorithm problem.
The problem was kinda vague, asked for declaration, got an easy 'Yes' or 'No' as feedback.
Not a very ideal interview experience.
