I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Tartu) in Feb 2020
Interview
The interviewer was very friendly, she asked me about myself, my preferences if I start to work for Microsoft. Then she asked me about previous projects, but nothing too technical. Overall she wanted to know what areas I have worked in, after the call I have gotten a confirmation that she has forwarded my application to the area I have experience in, however, did not get an offer.
