I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Microsoft (Belgrade) in Mar 2021
Interview
Interview cosists of 4 45 minutes sessions in a row. They are coding challenge, system design, culture and leadership. Interviewers are very friendly and supportive. Best 8nterview ever. Questions are tech agnostic so they are really looking for a "talent" and not someone with specific skillset.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Dublin, Dublin) in Mar 2023
Interview
Recruiter reached out after wasn't taken for previous role. Quick chat and call with hiring manager, previous interviews could be leveraged again so only one lightweight follow up technical interview done. As there was another offer on the table the process was speed up as much as possible.
