I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Bucareste, )
Interview
The interview process had 3 rounds
First, it was a technical test with 2 coding problems
Second, it was a phone interview for 30 minutes. For some reason, I haven't received one.
Third, it was a 3-round long interview with 45 minutes per round and a 15-minute break. The first round, I had to solve a coding problem. After I was done, my problem was slightly modified and I was asked how to solve the modified version. The second round, I was asked about the projects from my CV and I was asked a data structure question (How to design a smart elevator). Third round included OOP basic questions. It was quite exhausting.
I applied through their website with a referral, after a month or so they sent me a home exam, I think about a month after that i had 3 interviews in the same day, each one around 1:15 hours.

Question 1
I had a technical interview where I was asked to solve the classic 'Climbing Stairs' problem (LeetCode #70), which is a dynamic programming question based on the Fibonacci sequence.
One HR interview, then two problem-solving interviews (beginer level) on HackerRank. You can choose the best programming language for you to use in solving problems. You should think out loud to enable your interviewer to understand how you would think to solve the problem.
