Software Development Engineer Interview Experience - Aguascalientes, Mexico
Process
I applied through campus recruiting.
In campus, they asked a question about how to convert a double number into a String.
Two weeks later, I received an invitation for the second round in Guanajuato, Guanajuato.
In this round, I was asked how to get the maximum and minimum of an IPv4 address. I believe I answered correctly, but I might have skipped a few details (in late September).
The week after that, I received an email telling me to wait for results. The message stated that they were not sure about these results and that the recruiter would have a meeting with my interviewer to decide whether to keep me or not. (Last time I applied, I received one saying that they were soon to reach their peak recruiting volume, which makes me think they still interview people in other regions of LATAM and make you wait until they have "x" number of "good" candidates to which they apply a "SELECT TOP 30 * order by unknown parameters"). It also said that final results would be ready by October 24. I did not receive any notice from them until I asked after that date. They decided to end the interviews for that year. Even though the recruiter was a very nice person, I disliked the fact that they forgot to notify me.

The salaries should go up for some levels, as the cost of living has increased a lot in Dublin, Ireland.
- 5.0Great company, great culture, great team, great benefitsSoftware Development Engineer • Current EmployeeCopenhagen, Capital Region, DenmarkJune 6, 2020Pros: I think Microsoft is a great employer and has a great culture and great values. Most of the engineers working here are very passionate and dedicated, so the learning and collaboration opportunities are amazing. The work-life balance is good, and there are great perks and benefits for employees. The hires are very diverse and come from very different backgrounds, which is great, as it strongly contributes to both the personal and professional growth of the individuals and the success of the products. As it is such an international company and the majority of the employees are expats, it is very easy to adapt in the environment and feel respected and included at the workplace.Cons: Some products are very old and have been written in programming languages that are not used in any other companies or for any other products. It might feel like if you spend too much time there, it would be hard to find another job. This is both because of the lack of practice in other coding languages, but mostly because everything is advancing very fast, new technologies emerge, and you are not actively learning or practicing those.
