I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA) in Feb 2024
Interview
The process was very frustrating, the hiring team kept on rescheduling the interviews multiple times. This broke the motivation and rhythm of my preparation. The hiring manager just rushed the interview without even giving time to answer the questions instead kept on talking in between.

How would you collaborate, all the general behavioral questions based upon Microsoft values. How do you prioritize etc
5 rounds of interview- 1 hour each. Logical questions related to the role and previous experience. Every interviewer was calm, kind and knowledgeable. The process was quick. The schedule was on time.
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA)
Interview
I first had a discussion with the hiring manager and then 3 short interviews with 3 different people that'd I'd be likely working with regularly. The interviews were focused on cultural attributes -- growth mindset, customer obsesses, diverse and inclusive, and finally One Microsoft.

Tell me about a mistake you made and how you learned from it.
The Interview process was intense. I interview for the Bing Ads team and the questions were quite technical regarding experimentation and A/B testing. Focused on the publisher prespective and how the experimentation platform was built. Not much behaviourial questions were asked.
