I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Seattle, WA) in Jan 2022
Interview
I took the phone interview but did not pass it. But the interviewer was polite and professional. They seemed to have great passion about what they did at the company. The interview questions were very interesting and inspiring. I enjoyed the conversation with the interviews. I think I will try it again in the future.

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.
