Even though the salary is much lower than that of Seattle coworkers, Microsoft pays much better than local Vancouver companies.
Parking is inconvenient. The city is super congested. The parking fee is high.
Great experience. The questions were tough, but they have their standards to meet. Applied through an employee referral, cleared the phone screen, then drove to Redmond for the full onsite. Had three interviews there the same day.
The interview process involved an initial conversation with a recruiter, followed by a technical interview with an engineer from the department where I would have worked. These interviews were not connected, meaning they were mutually exclusive steps
The interview process consisted of 4 rounds. There were three LeetCode rounds and one system design round. The LeetCode problems were medium to hard level, and the system design round was high-level.
