The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Hyderābād) in Oct 2020
Interview
The hiring process in Microsoft is pathetic. They took 4 rounds of interview for over a month and asked to submit my current organization's payslips at the end and again after 2 weeks of multiple follow ups, they said "Hiring is on hold now"! All my time and the interviewer's time is wasted! Microsoft is no different when compared to other companies now, gone are the days you would think Microsoft as a dream company! They do give reason like this when they cannot match your current pay. Think before you join this company guys.
1st round HR phone interview then have two rounds of technical interview. Technical questions focus on complex troubleshooting and area knowledge. Followed by could be two rounds of M1 and M2 interviews.

How to troubleshooting users cannot login of a website
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Microsoft (Atlanta, GA) in Jan 2022
Interview
I was contacted by a recruiter and asked a few questions. She then recommended me and scheduled me for a technical interview and then an interview with a hiring manager. Technical interview was neutral. Hiring manager interview was a no show until I contacted the recruiter. Interview with HM got rescheduled multiple times but went well after speaking. Microsoft was a dream company to work for but the hiring process did not leave a good impression at all for such a reputable company.
