      I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Oslo) in Mar 2017

      Interview

      Phone interview with basic information. Second phone interview with simple but tricky math question. On-site interviews with three managers. Technical questions from basic datastructures and time complexity to super contrived problems where they just want you to have a solution for their problems.
