J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 3 jours. J'ai passé un entretien chez Microsoft en sept. 2015
Entretien
Was contacted by a recruiter for an onsite interview, no phone screen. I was unable to do an onsite so a skype was set up since according to the recruiter the hiring manager really wanted to meet me. Upon meeting, I was asked what my name was and didn't have a clue about my experience or what my skill set was since he had to quickly bring up my Linkedin profile. While I was describing my background and what I could offer, he was typing away. When it came down to my questions the answers were very presumptuous and wishy washy. I honestly felt like I was just another meeting someone had to get through. I liked the responsiveness of the recruiter, but the hiring manager's attitude and personality unfortunately did not vibe with mine.

I felt like they were not interested from the first second and trying to find some questions to ask ad hoc. It was not bad, but nothing exciting during the interview.
