Great the interview was as expected and had very respectful interviewers. They were helpful and made it a breeze. I was pleased with the experience. I hope my review helps you in your future applications to companies.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA) in Jan 2022
Interview
4-round remote interview. 3 interviews were with members of the team, 1 interview with HR, each lasting around an hour. Technical questions were presented casually, no whiteboarding or formal solutions were necessary, but rather just a cooperative discussion of how the problem could be solved. I felt that the interviews went well, but did not receive any contact from Microsoft afterwards, not even a response to my follow-up email.

Interview
Was suprisingly heavily focused on behavioral questions, less so on coding and system design. After success it was hard to see any overview of the teams that have open positions.
