I applied online. I interviewed at Microsoft (Bengaluru) in Feb 2020
Interview
I applied and got interviewed in Microsoft Bangalore , HR was very polite and handled well , first interviewer also was very polite and most of the questions asked were related to trees and stuff first interview went well , the second interview was with a scum he showed up very late on top of if he didnt respond to my greeting instead he started as if its a war , the problem with this guy is he had a fixed implementation in his mind and he wasnt willing to listen or go through n understand my code, instead of giving an effort to understand the code he said, I dont think it will work n stuff , its not worth to work in such teams where people are not willing to listen and expect fixed answers , anyways I have an offer with AMAZON and google process is going on

Interview
I got call via microsoft HR. She informed there will be 4 rounds of technical interviews all eliminator. Round 1 interview was a mid level graph question. The interviewer was actively involved, understood my logic, approach, challneged my assumeptions, did a dryrun at end, good experience. Round 2 inteviewer was extremely lazy and passive. It was a bad experience. He gave a problem statement of sliding window and disappeared. Wasn't intrested in hearing approach or even reading code. He came after 30 minutes , did a dry run and final output wasn't exactly correct. I identified a logical bug and started correcting it. He said there is no need , just finished the interview after that. The code i had written was optimal code but he didn't care to read that also. And there was still 20 minutes left. It gave me impression that interviewer in not at all interested in taking interview and they have been pushed my management. HR called next day to say i am not selected.
