I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Microsoft (Le Caire, ) in May 2020
Interview
Interview was several stages, first it was an hour long online text of some mcqs and 2 peoblems to solve, then i passed a certain score so was proceeded to do 2 interviews with 2 junior software engineers. First interview was good, second one I was actually fasting and tired since it was ramadan so I did really badly, what surprised me was that the interviewer mocked me and told me you seem to know nothing about this topic (was hash tables)

I applied through their website with a referral, after a month or so they sent me a home exam, I think about a month after that i had 3 interviews in the same day, each one around 1:15 hours.
