I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft in Apr 2025
Interview
They start with a screening call expect (30-45min). They take notes and send to a technical team for review, they do very little talking on their end and mostly write notes as you speak.

Question 1
I was asked to name examples of my experience with each component of the job posting.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA) in Mar 2025
Interview
Immediately right off the bat I was not able to reschedule so I was forced to do the interview on the time they wanted even though it was very inconvenient for me. The first interview, the interviewer sabotaged me by not letting me solve the leetcode question that required usage of fast/slow pointers. Overall the worst company I have ever interviewed with 10 years working in tech and probably will never interview with them again.
Short screening call with HR and then an interview day (4x45min with engineers and team leads). All online. They used online tool for coding questions. After some time HR called to give me feedback.
