I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA) in Jul 2020
Interview
5 interviews. 4 technical, 1 cultural. Each was 1 hour, one after the other. At least one of the questions was way over my head, but I felt no shame in asking questions and admitting what I didn’t know. Prepare for the technical questions as you would prepare for a systems engineer interview.
All of the interviewers were men. They are the people I work with regularly today since I’ve accepted the job.
They start with a technical screen. If you pass, they set up a panel of four interview loops. It is usually one day with back to back sessions. The recruiter should follow up afterwards.

Question 1
Tell me about a time you made a mistake. How did you go about resolving it?
the entire portion was 3 hrs long with 3 different interviewers. The entire interview was very professional and respectful. All the interviewers adjusted each question asked and even elaborated on uncertainties.

Interview
It was a very good experience. Interviewers were encouraging and kind. I had 4 technical questions, mostly LC easy or medium. It was my first technical interview and a smooth experience overall.
