      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Microsoft (Copenhagen, Capital Region) in Dec 2013

      Interview

      I applied online through the Microsoft Career site. After two months they communicated me their interest. Then we scheduled for the first round interview which is the Skype interview. It went good and I passed. The second round was on site interview with the Senior Software Development Engineers at Copenhagen, Denmark. They set up flight and hotel and gave me information how to reach there and scheduled for the Interview one month after phone interview. I went to Denmark and the interview was very nice and based on my skills, knowledge and experience. It was a one to one interview with three Software Engineers in rotation lasting about 45 minutes. It has been a bit difficult for me at that time, but the questions are nice and not off skills. Since I didn’t prepared well, I didn’t perform well on the technical interview and I went out of the process. They reimburse the money for the transportation expenses of taxis and trains. They are nice that the way they approach and tried to help you come up at the result. Overall it was a great lesson and experience I got. Get a good preparation not to miss the basics and get relaxed on being yourself. Follow the what they recommend to get best out of it. It was on 2013.
