Quick interview process. 3 technical rounds with one difficult and picky interviewer, and two other relatively chill interviewers. Problems were probably easy to medium leetcode levels, with system design questions as well.

Question 1
The technical rounds were leetcode style questions
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Microsoft (Redmond, WA) in Apr 2025
Interview
They asked me about my past experience and grinded deeply on that along with that Easy - Medium Leet code questions. First round went pretty good i would say, second round the interviewer just grinded on my resume very deeply, this was the round that i lost my confidence and the last round was very good the interviewer was super chill.

Challenging!!!! Many non-technical questions, although those were not as difficult as the programming related questions. Those are nothing like I had seen in my prep and practice sadly. Although the interviewers were very nice and I liked my experience overall.
