I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA) in Sep 2021
Interview
1) Phone call with recruiter 2) Two interviews with software managers. First one was more about my experience and interest in the team and second was a technical question. (LC easy/medium)
One technical question and a few more questions about a project I did during my degree studies (difficulties, working in a team, results, etc.). I needed to solve the technical question, while explaining my solution. I also needed to run my solution and try some tests.
Very smooth, they first do the resume screening, a phone call screen (mine had only technical questions) , and then a final round interview (mine had 2 technical coding assessments and they asked a few behavioral questions during the interview)
