I applied online. I interviewed at Microsoft (Lagos)
Interview
The interview process was very engaging. I was interviewed by three different people. As usual, the interview was based on data structures and algorithms. One of the sessions included a behavioral assessment.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Sídney) in Sep 2025
Interview

P.S. writing this 2 days after the interview so I don't know the interview result yet... pray for me.
