HR rounds first, and then comes the hiring manager round with portfolio review.
HM is nice, not too many and difficult questions.
But I think I interviewed too late, I got rescheduled on time, and waited for three weeks to interview.
I applied through other source. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA) in Dec 2025
Interview
I interviewed with the hiring manager directly, and the following week, I was scheduled for a 1-hour portfolio presentation and 4 back-to-back individual interviews. The process was direct and quick.
