I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Microsoft (Praga)
Interview
The interview process was really confusing. I was referred to Software Engineer Position 62 in Prague and heard back quickly, which was great. After the HR call they sent me a prep guide that said the technical screening would be 30 minutes and I expected a typical leetcode-style question.
Instead, the interview lasted about an hour and focused on multithreading and concurrency, topics I wasn’t told to prepare for. I wasn’t ready for that at all.
I shared my concerns with the recruiter, who brought in another recruiter, but no one ever followed up with me. I’m really disappointed. The interview didn’t match what they promised, and it seems like different candidates are getting very different experiences. For a company that says equity is one of their values, this didn’t feel fair.
Straightforward technical loop overall, with strong interviewers at every stage. I genuinely enjoyed the in-depth conversations around technical challenges and algorithmic problem-solving — the entire process felt well-structured and genuinely engaging.
The interview was a long process. There was first the recruiter screen, which was followed by a 4-loop interview structure that covered technical, behavioral, and system design. The interviewers were very kind and accommodating.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft
Interview
After my application to ClipChamp - Microsoft, a recruiter reached out and scheduled my first interview. It was about basic interview questions and background analysis. After that I had my technical interview. The recruiter specifically said that I would be facing medium hacker rank questions. So I prepared accordingly. However, what I actually got was to analyse an application and re work it according to new requirements. I felt like I was set up for failure on purpose. Didn’t even hear back after that interview.
