I applied online. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA) in Jan 2020
Interview
You have a phone screen that is mostly behavioral and just asks you a few questions to see how you think. Second interview I was flown out to Redmond; whole trip was paid for, super fun experience. Two technical interviews in a row. Medium/easy level questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
First question was how to rotate a 2d array and second was how to flip a string.
Interviewed once behavioral then two technical. Very simple questions and LC easy. They were forgiving if it didn’t run. Asked specific questions about projects from my resume, asking me to describe how I built them. Heard back within a week but status changed in portal before this.
i got straight to the final round, which was two back to back interview, and the first focused on behavioural, like describing a conflict between you and a co-worker, how would you reachout for help ina group project, and the second one was coding, where I had two questions, and both were easy leetcode question

back to back interviews, first behavioral and second technical. could be different for others. hear back within 2 weeks. they’re pretty straight forward based in interview some are nice some more strict.
