Hello fishes, anyone knows how interviews at Google and Microsoft are? Got approached by recruiters from both and curious what to expect. Currently at a Big4 (if it matters) and would really want to move. Thanks in advance for any input!

Thanks for sharing this!

Same procedure just like all the other companies. You have to go though several rounds of interviews. Prepare for technical and situational questions because they will be testing your problem-solving skills. They will start with, "why are you applying for this position?" Lol. What position are you applying for anyway?

What kind of roles are these? Just curious.

I know the Microsoft interviews will be more technically focused on how you used X tool to provide a solution for a client. That was my experience in a non developer role.

I tried cheap ones from Amazon. Expensive, second hand gaming chairs. Tried HM Aeron (second hand) and while I didn't like the bulk and the general design, I was sold on the mesh seating. I wanted to get the ErgoChair 2 from autonomous, but it doesn't have mesh seat.
