I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA) in Sep 2021
Interview
1st round: 45 min behavioral + technical interview
2nd round: 2 back to back technical coding interviews, 1st interview was with a manager and 2nd interview was with a SWE. Mix of technical coding questions with emphasis on thought process more than code.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Question about past internships and resume.
Technical coding questions on common data structures.
3 rounds of leetcode medium, 2 questions were very easy, the last one was really hard (it was a binary tree question). They asked about space and time complexity. In terms of structures it was straight forward but the question itself was hard
Behavioural round consisted of "Tell me about yourself and why you wanna work for microsoft and resume screening. And technical interview consisted of 2 LC question 1 medium and 1 easy.
straightforward. directly jumped into data structure and algorithm and then a few fundamental computer science questions especially database management system and operating system then 2 or 3 questions related to resume.
