I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Microsoft in Aug 2018

Great Interview experience with an online coding round followed by a Group fly round. Question in Group fly round is very intuitive and related to System Design .Then it followed two to three technical rounds followed and then HR round.

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The assessment consisted of two LeetCode-medium-level coding questions to be completed within 75 minutes.
45 mins technical interview with a member of their San fran team. Very relaxed and informal but questions were focused and lots of follow ups. Easy to schedule as was over video conferencing platform
Straightforward technical loop overall, with strong interviewers at every stage. I genuinely enjoyed the in-depth conversations around technical challenges and algorithmic problem-solving — the entire process felt well-structured and genuinely engaging.
