Interview
I initially got a call for a non technical interview. The recruiter was sweet and she mentioned it was a breath of fresh air to talk to someone who doesn't take themselves too seriously.. I guess I got lucky
The recruitment process involves an initial resume screening to shortlist candidates. Successful candidates then proceed to undergo two technical evaluation rounds to assess their skills and expertise. As part of their journey, they will engage in a hands-on project, guided by a mentor assigned by Microsoft. This practical experience provides valuable insights and an opportunity to apply knowledge in a real-world context. Finally, candidates participate in a concluding interview round, allowing for a comprehensive evaluation before making the final selection. This multi-faceted approach ensures a thorough assessment and aligns with the high standards set by Microsoft.
