Software Development Engineer Interview Experience - Copenhagen, Capital Region
Process
-
The initial screening took place in Munich. It was a face-to-face interview that lasted for 1 hour.
-
The final round of interviews was held in Copenhagen. I had four interviews, each lasting approximately 1 hour, for a total of 4 hours. The interview difficulty increases as you progress. The better you perform, the harder the interview becomes, as they aim to test your limits. Do not panic if you cannot answer all questions. Just be yourself.

Microsoft Work Experiences
- 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.
