Software Engineer Interview Experience - Vancouver, Canada
Process
The interview process involved:
- A phone interview
- A technical test
- Three rounds
I was very surprised when I passed the phone interview. If you make it past that stage and have done easy to medium LeetCode questions, you'll be fine. If I could do it, anyone could do it at this point.
Questions
Do you prefer front-end or back-end? What language do you prefer to write in?
Two Codility questions, with approximately 45 minutes for each.

Corporate flights should be obsolete and replaced with Teams meetings, but yet MS is one of the top corporate buyers of flights still. As someone with climate anxiety, it pains me to work for a company that can make a huge impact here but chooses not to. - Re-orgs are common and scary.
