I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA) in May 2010
Interview
I talked to the recruiter for 10 minutes then the real process started. In total 6 people interviewed me. I was asked various technical problems to solve. Average problems, not super hard. Had lunch with one of the interviewer and was asked to design a system by describing it. I was told to wait until they make a final decision.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Sydney) in Apr 2026
Interview
I attended 3 rounds of interview . 1. Technical 2.Behavioural 3.Manageral. Technical was bit diffcult , other rounds are good. Verbal offer is given over call. then next week, they said cancelling the offer.Not sure. Why they selected after all the rounds got cleared.Provided salary discussion .I did not even neogitate salary . Still cancelled offer.
The interview process was good but I don\t know about DSA much hence failed and can't pass. Be prepared with DSA and don't work with it as it doesn't bothered with work much
Three stages, peer, manager and tech specialist each for an hour. No weird examples or gotcha questions. Standard STAR format, just come with a good example of something you've done yourself.
