I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Microsoft in Oct 2024
Interview
2 back-to-back interviews with the introduction at the beginning of the interviews. Was having Behavior Questions and Technical Questions in the first interview but full Technical Questions in the second one. The difficulties were based on the courses that had been taken in college. I was having questions on medium difficulties of sliding windows and binary search questions.
3 interviews via teams, leet code questions medium hard difficulty also questions about project from your own resume or cv in the first and second interviews you speak to engineers and on the last with managers
The interviewer puts an unnecessarily amount of pressure on a third year collage student by talking about there careers in details when most of what they are saying we don't fully understand, making it harder for them to show there real skills, also one of the interviewers where talking to someone else leaving the mic open while I was solving a problem.
