The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Microsoft in Apr 2011
Interview
The interview was 1:1 with three different people from the web development team. Interview started asking about my previous work and my skill level on different technologies involved in web development on .net platform. The technical questions were related to web UI development. Most of the other question were related algorithm and problem solving like shuffling a deck of playing cards, calculating angles of hands of a clock for any given time, writing a function that gives square root of a given number.

too pushyaThe interview was a positive and professional experience. The interviewers were friendly and made the conversation feel natural, asking clear and well-structured questions that allowed me to showcase both my technical and personal skills. The atmosphere was comfortable, which helped reduce any stress. However, the time for my own questions felt a bit short, and I would have appreciated more information about the next steps in the recruitment process. Overall, it was an engaging and motivating experience.

I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Microsoft (Toronto, ON) in Jul 2024
Interview
The usual, nothing unexpected for a web developer. I do t know what else to say they asked me questions I answered what do you want from an interview today or tomorrow or the day after
Its very sophisticated. 4 rounds of technical and then fitment round.
I got options for multiple ways to solve by interviewee and it was a very good conversation.
Quesrions were based more towards analytical ability than the problem solving directly.
