I applied online. I interviewed at Microsoft (Luxembourg) in Feb 2024
Interview
Interview was nice, I liked the team and office. The HR department was generally responsive and nothing raised any red flags. I didn't get position afterwards anyways, but I the whole iring process seems to be fine as it is. Later I found they plan to relocate the office, but it is still going to be in moderate walking distance.
