I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Toronto, ON) in May 2025
Interview
The interview process was more straightforward than anticipated. Was referred to the final round, which was one main interview day with two 45-minute interviews with members of the team. Heard back a couple of weeks later.
