Software Engineer (Internship) Interview Experience - Prague, Czech Republic
Process
I applied online, and the process took four weeks.
- OA: One online assessment.
- Live Coding and Behavioral Rounds: Three rounds of live coding on HackerRank, combined with behavioral questions.
There were some behavioral questions: Why Microsoft? Tell me about a failure. How do you approach learning a new skill?
There were some coding questions: Implement a queue using two stacks. Find a way to effectively filter an array. There were also theoretical questions about data structures and time complexity.

Not having to worry whether you'll be employed tomorrow or not. Office is 10/10! Absolutely amazing. Lots of smart colleagues and a lot of additional activities: hackathons, labs, etc. Good career growth opportunities within Microsoft if you're not happy with your current position. Compensation is above average, including lots of stocks, bonuses, etc.Cons: There are some reorgs happening, but I think that's common for the IT industry, having in mind how dynamic it is. There are some problems with planning, but that's improving. There's some work after working hours or during the weekends, but this is getting reduced now, and it's well compensated.
