J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 4 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Microsoft (São Paulo, ) en mars 2023
Entretien
interview process was thorough yet efficient, spanning over two weeks. It consisted of an initial phone screening, followed by two technical rounds, and concluded with a final HR round. The technical interviews were conducted virtually. Each session lasted about an hour, with different interviewers. The questions were a mix of theoretical cybersecurity concepts and practical scenarios. One notable aspect was the focus on real-world problem-solving rather than just theoretical knowledge. The interviewers were knowledgeable and provided constructive feedback during the discussions.

Lots of rounds. Highly technical and requires in depth knowledge of applied position with different scenarios provided to applicants for use. Some leeway in the process to find other solutions and think outside of the norm.

Standard big tech process. It was a long wait to hear about the outcome and I received the usual automated message. Interview itself requires a lot of preparation and patience.
