I applied through university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Dublin, Dublin) in Mar 2025
Interview
Microsoft Dublin has a 4 looped interview process, similar to many other companies present in Ireland.
The loops are:
- System Design
- Data Structures and Algorithms
- Object Oriented Programming
The interview difficulty is average and not very hard. The interviews have thorough knowledge of the concepts asked and are technically rich.
