Frontend Developer Interview Experience - Costa Rica
Process
The first interview was handled by the recruiter. They asked you some questions about your experience and why you are looking to work at Microsoft. Then, they asked some other questions in English to measure your level.
If you pass the first interview with the recruiter, they will send you some questions by email and a Codility online test. This test consists of 3 random code exercises, which were really hard. You should know a lot about algorithms to solve them.
If you pass this online test, they will set up some interviews with Microsoft senior engineers. They are going to give you more Codility exercises that you have to solve within a time slot, and they will monitor all your progress. It's like a live coding interview session.
I don’t know what happens after that; I couldn’t pass the first online test. xD
They never asked me anything about front-end web development. The online test was focused just on using algorithms to solve the three different exercises.
