I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Seattle, WA) in Nov 2018
Interview
Overall a great experience. 1 onsite interview. 4 back to back interviews at their offices in Seattle. 3 of the interviews in Seattle were pretty easy, but my final one was very tough.
Started with a 30 min informational interview. The next round was a technical interview for 6o minutes. Most problems were no more difficult then leet code medium. Then it moved into a full super day.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Microsoft (Hyderābād) in Jan 2023
Interview
Four rounds - mic of technical and behavioral. Leetcode questions were asked and system design questions were asked in technical rounds. For behavioral, it was mostly straightforward situation based questions. The ability to convey your thoughts was also assessed.
Started with introductory questions, then moved on to discuss projects and tech stack. Then a DSA question was given and I was asked to code it in my local editor, complete with the main function.
