I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Prague)
Interview
First OA 3 questions. Then Virtual Onsite.
Very inexperienced interviewers. Not only inexperienced in interviewing, also inexperienced as software engineers too, who can not follow what you do. OOP design with 13 rules to follow in 30 minutes. And the interviewer does not know much about best practice of given scenario.
In coding session you have to write test cases too. An easy question and a follow up with O(n+m) sorting.
