Process

The interview process consisted of a call with the recruiter, focusing on your past experience and your motivation for working at Microsoft. If you passed this initial stage, you were sent an online coding test. Upon passing that, there were four in-person interviews at the Microsoft office.

The interviewers were pleasant and very willing to answer questions about the company culture, work, and other activities at Microsoft. The questions were of average difficulty. Once a solution was found, the focus shifted to achieving an optimal answer with the lowest time and space complexity. Each interviewer asked one problem-solving question along with some behavioral questions.

The recruiter was a bit sketchy, and follow-up was not very good, even after receiving an offer. After signing the contract, the situation became even worse. Additionally, for some reason, salary ranges at Microsoft Dublin are significantly lower than at their other locations, as well as compared to the salary ranges of other companies in Dublin.
